RiRi’s intimates affair
The pop superstar’s highly anticipated collection of sexy skivvies drops in NYC
RIHANNA fans, rejoice: The singer’s much-awaited lingerie line, Savage X Fenty, has finally arrived.
The collection, which Rihanna partnered with TechStyle Fashion Group to produce, dropped online late Thursday night at SavageX.com. Its 90 styles span a wide range of sizes intended to “[celebrate] all shades and shapes,” according to the brand’s Web site. (It’s similar to the mission of her popular Fenty Beauty line, which is heralded for its wide range of shades.) Prices start at $14.50 and cap at $99.
“We’ve been working on this for a few years now, believe it or not,” the singer told the crowd at her launch Thursday night, held at Villain in Williamsburg. As she stood onstage, a larger-than-life hologram in her likeness strutted around her, modeling various items from the collection. “Finally, after all this time, I cannot believe that everybody’s going to be able to have their hands all in it.”
The collection includes four categories: “On the Reg,” which features not-so-basic basics such as T-shirt bras and briefs; “U Cute,” which consists of feminine lace pieces; “Damn,” which ups the sexy ante with frisky garters and sheer corsets; and “Black Widow,” which gets naughty with the likes of cupless bras and sheer bodysuits.
In tune with the brand’s sizeinclusive, shade-inclusive mission, the campaign is shown on models of different races and body types. “I think RiRi is, truly, starting a revolution,” one of the posers, Stella Duval — who wore a lime-green Savage X Fenty bra-and-panties set with just an unbuttoned pair of jean shorts to the event — tells The Post in an e-mail. “She is changing the way people view beauty. She is lifting the barrier between ‘plus-size’ and ‘straight-size’ — she is making us equals.” Rihanna hopes her fans — all of them — love it just as much. “Tell all your friends, your cousins, your sisters, your girlfriends and your ex-girlfriends, too,” she told the crowd on Thursday. “Because Savage is for everybody, regardless.”
