Rihanna means business with her latest FENTY release, introducing a tailoring-focused collection during Paris Fashion Week which reinterprets the concept of classic businesswear. Release 9-19, available now online, launched with a temporary first-floor takeover at the iconic Galeries Lafayatte Champs-Élysées, that lasts until October 12. This comes alongside a new campaign series of ‘80s-inspired workplace visuals, shot by New Zealand-born, London-based artist Sharna Osborne, to articulate an attitude of empowerment that transcends the office environment.

Influenced by key shapes in men’s suiting, the pinstripe-rendered, ready-to-wear collection features blazers that vary in proportion: some are boosted with extra padding for a relaxed, oversized fit, while others indulge in sharp-lined shoulders and a draped effect at the waist. A selection of graphic tees arrives covetable for autumn, while new outerwear options include an olive green bomber with neon orange lining, a boiled wool check jacket and poplin hoodie – all reinterpreted in FENTY’s signature oversized shirt form.

Release 9-19 also introduces the power point, a new shoe boasting an innovative rectangular heel, available in pinstripe nylon, black patent leather, bright fuchsia satin and sky blue ponyhair to add attitude to the idea of office heels. For fashion jewellery, a new range of versatile gold-plated accessories is on offer, in the form of a chain necklace to be draped around the neck or down the back and a crystal-adorned bracelet that can be adjusted like a tie pin.
