The multiple Grammy award winner will help shape the show that will search  Britain for the next generation of raw fashion talent  who will be challenged with creating outfits for a string of musicians and celebrities during the course of the series.

The winner will design an outfit for Rihanna to wear when she performs at the Wireless Festival in London in July.

The show is being developed for Sky by Warner Bros.- owned  Twenty Twenty Productions, which is part of the Shed Media group the studio acquired last year.

“I have been very fortunate to work with some truly amazing designers and stylists throughout my career, and they have been instrumental in making sure my creative vision reaches the stage,” said Rihanna in a statement. “I am excited to follow the journey of our aspiring contestants and see how their individuality influences their efforts during the course of the show."
