Rihanna - P 2015
AP ImagesThough Rihanna‘s camp has yet to confirm or deny anything, reports about the fashion icon’s rumored new fashion line have been flooding the Internet. Grazia first broke the news about the possible project — an accessories line called $CHOOL KILLS — but now, Fashionista has pointed out that the phrase “School Kills” is very closely associated with Korean-born designer Hyein Seo‘s designs. In fact, Rihanna has recently been spotted wearing pieces from the urban-inspired collection, including an oversize tee emblazoned with the phrase. File this one under “things that make us go hmmm.” [Fashionista]
For the July issue of Teen Vogue, beauty editor Elaine Welteroth detailed her experience wearing her hair in Senegalese twists during a recent trip to Rwanda, referencing Zendaya‘s comments on dreadlocks as an inspiration for embracing her natural texture. However, backlash ensued over the casting of mixed-race model Phillipa Steele, whose photos accompanied the piece. Readers were infuriated to see what they believed was a “white girl” modeling for a story about women of color. Welteroth penned an essay in response entitled, “Why This Teen Vogue Beauty Story Started an Important Conversation About Race,” calling into question why some readers felt that Steele (who addressed the controversy on social media by stating that she is “half-black”) wasn’t “black enough” for the feature. Food for thought. [Racked]
