Rihanna 2008 august In Style cover girl

Rihanna is the cover girl of August 2008 In Style magazine and featured in a pic spread and profile article and interview. Rihanna told about her rule-breaking fashion philosophy — and her future.

Rihanna is no cookie-cutter R&B diva. When she rpresented her first album “Music of the Sun” her record label decked her out in long wavy extensions and frilly outfits.

In Style,

We’ve had the Meg, the Jennifer, and now people ask for the Rihanna at salons. Will you be switching it up again?

Rihanna,

The first time I heard people were asking for the Rihanna, it was really flattering and maybe a little strange. It caught me by surprise, but now I feel it’s a very cool thing. I don’t feel the pressure to change it up again at all. I like it, as they like it

She’s having Valentino silk dress,  Givenchy by Riccardo Tisci gold-plated necklace, her own earrings and Gucci leather booties on.

In Style,

This issue is about breaking fashion and design rules. What are some you’d like to crush?

Rihanna,

The idea of not wearing brown and black together seems so dated. The other day I wore a black T-shirt, black Nobody jeans, a brown leopard-print belt by Dolce & Gabbana, and brown Giuseppe Zanotti shoes, and it looked awesome. Also the rule about not matching your makeup to your outfit. I do that onstage, matching red lipstick to a bright red jacket or neon-pink eye shadow to a pink jumpsuit. And I also love to mix prints.

In Style,

How has your look evolved over the years? What’re your style obsessions?

Rihanna,

It has evolved without my even noticing it. Lately I’m obsessed with Thierry Mugler…Grace Jones inspires me…she has extraordinary style and she’s fearless. I love designer Martin Margiela: Kanye West told me about him. I also like Dsquared, Chloé, Zac Posen—he makes flattering lines.”

In Style,

But you weren’t always a fashion maven? Growing up in Barbados, you were a tomboy.

Rihanna,

I wore my brother’s clothes, dresses with sneakers, or no shoes at all. I would always get into trouble with my mom. She would say things to scare me like, ‘You’re going to get cut!’ But I couldn’t help it. I would climb trees, steal mangoes, catch birds—silly things that were fun to us at the time. My cousin and I were the only girls in the group. We would have to stand up for ourselves because the guys didn’t want us around.”

Rihanna

Emanuel Ungaro silk-nylon jacket. BCBG Max Azria silk nylon dress. Chanel necklace of metal, enamel and glass. Louis Vuitton bracelet in white and yellow 18kt gold.

Rihanna told In Style,

At the time I was, like, ‘OK, I’ll do whatever you want me to do.’ But I love doing edgier things. So I had to grow up and figure myself out.”

Three years later, the Barbadian songstress is a 20-year-old trendsetter with neon nails, spiky locks and a love of experimentation—up to a point.

I let hairstylists and makeup artists try anything, but I’ll say ‘I’m not too sure if I like this’ if I need to. Because at the end of the day, my face is what’s out there, so I have to make sure it’s right.”

Our Vision

  • Burberry Prorsum Pre-Fall 2011 Burberry Prorsum Pre-Fall 2011

    Christopher Bailey has said good-bye to the biker clothing and welcomed flares and maxi dresses. For Pre-Fall 2011 he’s focused on a subtler affair and in the result we see lots of elegant and even feminine pieces instead of Spring’s spikes and studs. But Burberry Prorsum has to always return to their traditions, so it’s not surprising that trench coats have arisen again, but this time they are classier and more modern.
