RIHANNA has failed to win over critics with her debut
fashion collection - reviewers have branded her designs "hideous" and
her grand unveiling in London a "horror show".
The
Umbrella hitmaker officially launched the clothing line for U.K. high street
chain River Island during London Fashion Week on Saturday, but after starting
the nine-minute show an hour late, fashion writers were left unimpressed with
the skimpy creations, which included midriff-baring crop tops, thigh high boots
and sheer monochrome dresses.
Tom
Sykes of TheDailyBeast.com dismissed the belly-baring tops and high-slit skirts
on display as "porny" and "hideous", while New York
Magazine's Alex Rees revealed it "didn't prove quite as exciting as it
could have been", although he's confident the items will sell like
"high street hot cakes" simply because of her star status, adding,
"She's Rihanna, after all".
Rihanna
didn't appear to let the harsh reviews spoil her day - she celebrated her
fashion debut with a night out at London nightclub The Box.
Rihanna's collection for River Island is set to go on sale in stores in
March.
