Rihanna, who grew up on a small island with limited access to fashion, has always used fashion as her personal power and protection. As she herself said when receiving the CFDA Fashion Icon of the Year Award in 2014: “I grew up on a really small island, and I didn't have a lot of access to fashion, but fashion has always been my defense mechanism.

With 135 million Instagram followers and as Forbes’ youngest self-made billionaire thanks to her Fenty Beauty empire, she has global influence.

Rihanna's personal fashion sense, from bold combinations of haute couture and streetwear to vintage and avant-garde creations, reflects her charisma and humor. As she said on the red carpet in 2014: “You will never be stylish if you don't take risks.” Her bold style choices have earned her a prominent place in both the fashion and music worlds. Sidney Toledano, Chairman and CEO of the LVMH Group, therefore calls her: “A fashion icon for today's generation.”

In “Rihanna, And the Clothes She Wears”, Terry Newman delves into the world of this fashion icon. The book offers an overview of Rihanna’s style, from haute couture to her own Fenty empire, from political statements to casual fashion. It is filled with facts about her fashion choices and showcases the star's most acclaimed looks, with quotes from important designers. This book is the perfect gift for any Rihanna fan.

Terry Newman has over 20 years of experience in the fashion industry as an editor at i-D, Attitude, and Self Service, and as a contributing writer for newspapers such as The Guardian, The Independent, The Times, and The Sunday Times. She has also presented fashion programs for Channel 4 in the United Kingdom. As the author of books such as “Harry Styles and the Clothes He Wears” and “Legendary Authors and the Clothes They Wore”, she contributes to fashion books such as i-D's Fashion Now. She currently teaches at the University for the Creative Arts in Epsom and lives in London with her husband and two children.

A culinary masterpiece that explores the boundaries of culinary art!

Girls with Pearls is an homage to the work of Johannes Vermeer, but with a modern twist. Like Vermeer, photographer Caroline Sikkenk uses light, colours, and composition to create a sense of wonder, and through her own contemporary interpretation, a message of diversity and unity is conveyed. Explore the world of Vermeer in text and images!

Ever since her studies at the Photo Academy in Amsterdam, Caroline Sikkenk has been captivated by the Dutch Masters and their extraordinary attention to light and detail. This fascination led to a series of photographs inspired by Vermeer's works. The photos were taken in Delft at historical locations connected to Vermeer. The models are people Caroline happened to encounter, for example, on the street, at the hairdresser's, or at a concert. Moreover, Vermeer's painting Girl with a Pearl Earring has become such an iconic image that it no longer matters whether the model is a girl or a boy, young or old, or what the colour of their skin or hair is. The clothing is contemporary fashion, and each garment is unique, as is the pearl worn by the model. Each model is thus a unique pearl in their own right!

The photographs from this project have been exhibited at the Vermeer Centre in Delft (some of which are now part of the permanent collection of the Vermeer Centre), the Mauritshuis in The Hague, and in New York at the MvVO Art show. From February 6 to April 1, 2023, the exhibition 'Pearls of Light' can be seen in the Oude Kerk in Delft.
