Rihanna Might Be Launching a Luxury Line With LVMH (WWD)
Sources are saying that Rihanna is in talks with LVMH to launch a luxury line. The collection could possibly “span ready-to-wear, leather goods, and accessories.” As if that weren’t enough, one source said that the line could drop as early as this year, to coincide with a new album. So far, neither Rihanna nor LVMH has commented on the rumors. Should either party be reading this: Please, please make this happen. The world would like for this to happen so very much.

Raf Simons’ Shows His First Collection Since Leaving Calvin Klein 
Remember Raf Simons’ first collection for Calvin Klein? He put images of Brooke Sheilds in the ’80s on the jeans, and invited the actress to sit front row at the show. Well, Simons may have just left his role at Klein, but he seems to have taken that particular design/invitation trick with him. The designer showed the latest collection, Fall 2019, of his eponymous menswear label on Wednesday in Paris. Images of Laura Dern in Blue Velvet adorned several pieces, and Dern herself sat in the front row.

The collection also featured oversized shoulders — a trend in womenswear, but less so among men’s collections so far — and ankle-length coats. It was a surprisingly vibrant outing as well, with several pieces shown in bold jewel tones.
