Award winning Barbadian pop singer, Rihanna has inked a deal to be the executive producer of a new fashion competition show being developed for UK audience.
The as yet untitled show is set to debut on the Sky Living channel in Britain. It will be hosted by Girls Aloud singer Nicola Roberts with appearances by Rihanna herself.
‘I have always had a great love of fashion. It’s a constant source of inspiration in my life, and is a big reason why I’ve grown into the person and artist I am today‘, the 24-year-old stated
‘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. 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’, the singer added
The show will culminate with a final challenge in which the remaining designers must create a unique stage outfit for Rihanna’s performance at the Wireless Festival in Hyde Park, England, in July.
The four time Grammy award winner has over the years been involved in fashion, and has, in collaboration with other celebs, designed T-shirts for charitable causes, the most notable being her 2008 support for Fashion against AIDS.
