Rihanna x Edward Enninful equals a British Vogue cover to remember!

A formula that makes sense with the ongoing relationship of fashion and music, a match made in heaven.

“REBEL! RIHANNA REWRITES THE RULES”

I definitely agree with this statement, not only is she a major rebel but also a woman that creates her own rules. A successful music artist, to an inspirational black business woman. These powerful images for the May cover of Vogue, styled by Edward Enninful and photographed by Steven Klein, are quite simply sublime.

Of course only Rihanna would be able to rock the infamous durag, for the first time on the cover of British Vogue. YASSSS I am over the moon for the durag. She brings cultural education into mainstream high fashion. Have you ever thought the history of the durag, would be present on Vogue?

Did you know Rihanna’s go to spot in London would be BRIXTON! Yes guys, she’s reppin’ south :-)

Journalist Afua Hirsch asks during the interview with Rihanna, “where would she like to be going if visibility weren’t an issue?” “I’d rather go to Brixton,” Rihanna laughs. “But if I do that now, and I try to get some Jamaican food, it’s going to be an event, you know? So if I want a night off, I go hang with the people I would never hang with. And I just, I’m just in my bubble. Which I really enjoy about London.”

TRUTH

This word tattooed on her face, showcases an expression that has a lot of power over us all. “I’ve done all the hits, I’ve tried every genre – now I’m just, I’m wide open,” states Rihanna. “I can make anything that I want.” A strong statement to motivate us. With this mentality we definitely can. Truly excited to see how Vogue beat’s this cover or is this the one-off flavour of culture, for the year?
