Rihanna Thinks Men Would Look Dope In Pink Satin Boiler Suits
Rihanna’s women’s runway show for Puma, staged in Paris yesterday, was by most accounts totally lit. The collection’s inspiration was “Marie Antoinette goes to the gym,” and it won praise for feeling in step with today’s athleisure and streetwear influences, without being the same old oversized-hoodie trick. Plus, it was authentic. Rihanna’s unique mix of decadence and glamour and down-to-earth tomboy cool was perfectly captured in the clothes. Given that Fenty Puma by Rihanna has been selling like hot cakes since it first launched in stores, we have faith that the offering will also make Puma some money as well. Now, all that said, the menswear lineup is not quite as easy to wrap up in a satin bow. The half-dozen men’s looks (technically, they’re billed as unisex) included a pink brocade boiler suit and a lilac tunic-length anorak with matching lilac pants. Accessories ranged from a lace do-rag to a giant pearl choker and purple satin sneakers affixed with a bow on top. These are editorial clothes, for fashion enthusiasts—male or female—and, truth be told, some may not even end up in stores. See more at GQ.
