Robyn Rihanna Fenty Most people know of Rihanna as a very well known and successful r&b and pop singer. She goes by Rihanna but her full name is Robyn Rihanna Fenty. Born in St. Michael Parish on the Carribean Island of Barbados, eldest of three children, Rihanna gained her fame by signing with Def Jam records at age 16 in 2005. In 2012 Rihanna founded the non-profit Clara Lionel Foundation Global Scholarship Program for students attending college in the U.S from Caribbean countries. It provides access to education to children in over 60 developing countries and to those affected by lack of education in the world today. Harvard recognized this and awarded Rihanna as the 2017 Harvard University Humanitarian of the year where she then presented a speech. Rihanna has also been appointed to a new government position in her home country Barbados. She is the Ambassador of Education with specific responsibility for promoting education, tourism and investment for the island. Rihanna has deep rooted love for her country and shows her patriotism by giving back. In addition, Rihanna has a beauty line and a fashion line. She was one of the first to truly be successful at being inclusive for all skin tones. She is also inclusive for LGBTQ+, race, and plus size for her Savage X Fenty fashion line. She is on the road to being the first black woman in charge of a major luxury fashion house. Rihanna has really set a standard for the beauty industry by representing people of any shape and color and gender. She inspires people with her devotion and versatility. .

“Vogue” Em Performances Do Carnaval Carioca Strike a Pose!
ARTIGO COMUN. MÍDIA CONSUMO, SÃO PAULO, V. 16, N. 46, P. 376-395, MAI./AGO. 2019 DOI 10.18568/CMC.V16I46.1901 Strike a pose! A mediação do videoclipe “Vogue” em performances do Carnaval carioca Strike a Pose! Mediations of “vogue” music video in Performances of Brazilian Carnival Simone Pereira de Sá1 Rodolfo Viana de Paulo2 Resumo: O artigo tem por objetivo abordar as mediações do videoclipe da canção “Vogue”, de Madonna, buscando discutir o seu agenciamento de corpo- reidades periféricas em dois momentos: nos anos 1980, quando o videoclipe se apropria e amplia a visibilidade da dança voguing, praticada pela cena cultural LGBT nova-iorquina, e duas décadas depois, quando o videoclipe é, por sua vez, uma das referências para jovens dançarinos gays nas suas apresentações em alas das escolas de samba do Carnaval carioca. Assim, interessa-nos discutir as zonas de diálogo e de tensão entre performances locais e globais, tendo como aportes teóricos a discussão sobre “cosmopolitismo estético” (REGEV, 2013) e sobre as divas pop como ícones culturais (JENNEX, 2013), entre outras referências. Palavras-chave: Vogue; Madonna; performance; videoclipe; escolas de samba. Abstract: The article discusses the mediations of Madonna’s Music Vid- eo Vogue, seeking to discuss its agency on peripheral bodies in two moments: the first, in the 80s, when the song and music video appropriates the steps and gestures of Voguing created by the LGBT scene in New York; and the second moment, two decades later, when the music video is, in turn, one of the refer- ences for young, black and gay dancers who practice Vogue dance during their presentations on Rio de Janeiro’s samba schools in the present time.

The appellants (collectively “Topshop”) own and operate the well known Topshop retail fashion stores. In 2012 Topshop began to sell in its stores and through its website a fashion t-shirt displaying a clearly recognisable image of Rihanna. The image was derived from a photograph of Rihanna which was taken when she was on a video shoot for a single from her “Talk That Talk” album. Rihanna is looking directly at the camera with her hair tied above her head with a headscarf. It is, as the judge thought, a striking image and similar images had been used by Rihanna in connection with the Talk That Talk album.

Fashion with a Purpose: Sustainability, Empowerment, Inclusivity
Fashion With A Purpose: Sustainability, Empowerment, Inclusivity While the majority of fashion still revolves around trendy, outlandish apparel intended to make a statement, create a sense of exclusivity and incite superficial gossip, it has evolved to become something far more meaningful. Now a vehicle for female empowerment, diversity and to champion environmental issues (a large portion of which admittedly stem from the industry itself), fashion as a tool to unite people and create positive change has never been more worth celebrating. Environmental devastation throughout the history of the fashion industry has been rampant. Trends come and go at the click of a button and many fast fashion brands have turnover rates of less than a day. But consumers have become increasingly aware of the unethical and unsustainable practices and their purchasing choices have begun to shift - buyers no longer desire flashy and erratic outfits that succumb to fleeting trends. The growing awareness and widespread sharing on social media of the absurd levels of textile waste, water pollution and greenhouse gas emissions caused by the industry have resulted in fast- fashion brands taking a huge hit - H&M closed down 160 stores last year, announcing in March 2018 that it had US$4.3billion worth of unsold inventory. A majority of consumers, particularly from the younger generations, have become eco-conscious, opting instead for sustainably produced apparel which they are willing to pay a premium for. According to a Nielsen poll surveying 30,000 consumers across 60 countries, 73% of Millennials have demonstrated a willingness to pay more for products that are sustainable.

Savage X Fenty, Rihanna's Disruptive Lingerie Brand, Secures $115 Million in Series B Funding Led by L Catterton's Growth Fu
SAVAGE X FENTY, RIHANNA’S DISRUPTIVE LINGERIE BRAND, SECURES $115 MILLION IN SERIES B FUNDING LED BY L CATTERTON’S GROWTH FUND Investment Round Will Accelerate Next Phase of Growth and Expansion into Retail EL SEGUNDO, Calif., Feb. 10, 2021 – Savage X Fenty (the “Company”) today announced that it has completed a $115 million Series B fundraising round to support the Company’s rapid growth and upcoming expansion into retail. The heavily oversubscribed round was led by the Growth Fund of L Catterton, the largest global consumer-focused private equity firm, with significant participation from existing investors such as Marcy Venture Partners and Avenir, along with a number of new investors, including Sunley House Capital, Advent International’s crossover fund. Savage X Fenty was launched in 2018 by Rihanna to celebrate fearless individuality and broaden the definition of what is beautiful. The Series B financing follows an exceptional year for Savage X Fenty in which it experienced explosive revenue growth of over 200 percent, while increasing its active VIP member base by over 150 percent. With the Series B funding, the Company plans to further invest behind customer acquisition and expand into retail. “Lingerie is about celebrating your body and that’s what Savage is all about,” explained Rihanna. “Savage to me is such a powerful word. It’s about being confident, in charge, and taking ownership of our choices. This brand is a home, a hub and a safe space for everyone – regardless of shape, size, ethnicity, gender identity or sexual orientation. It is a representation of all and a validation that everyone is beautiful no matter what.” “As we continue to grow the brand at a remarkable pace, it is imperative that we move forward with partners who not only have a deep understanding of our business and customer base, but share our ambitious vision for Savage X Fenty and have the operational know-how to work with us to achieve it,” said Natalie Guzman and Christiane Pendarvis, Co-Presidents of Savage X Fenty.

Una scelta che ha reso la griffe di Rihanna un enorme successo, raccogliendo solo qualche mese fa ben 115 milioni di dollari di fondi per un’ ulteriore espansione nella vendita al dettaglio. Ma non finisce qui, perché Savage x Fenty ha appena presentato anche la sua prima collezione in occasione del Pride Month. Considerando la filosofia alla base del brand, era solo una questione di tempo prima che Rihanna dedicasse un’intera collezione all’orgoglio LGBTQ+, e non lo ha fatto solamente attraverso una campagna con artisti del calibro di Gigi Goode, Yusef Williams e Dexter Mayfield: la linea di intimo infatti contiene boxer, bralette, reggiseni, reggicalze e, per la prima volta, anche dei sospensori che, così come ogni altro prodotto, sono etichettati come all gender.

The Case of Rihanna: Erotic Violence and Black Female Desire
Fleetwood_Fleetwood 8/15/2013 10:52 PM Page 419 Nicole R. Fleetwood The Case of Rihanna: Erotic Violence and Black Female Desire Note: This article was drafted prior to Rihanna and Chris Brown’s public reconciliation, though their rekindled romance supports many of the arguments outlined herein. Fig. 1: Cover of Esquire, November 2011 issue, U. S. Edition. Photograph by Russell James. he November 2011 issue of Esquire magazine declares Rihanna “the sexiest Twoman alive.” On the cover, Rihanna poses nude with one leg propped, blocking view of her breast and crotch. The entertainer stares out provocatively, with mouth slightly ajar. Seaweed clings to her glistening body. A small gun tattooed under her right arm directs attention to her partially revealed breast. Rihanna’s hands brace her body, and her nails dig into her skin. The feature article and accompanying photographs detail the hyperbolic hotness of the celebrity; Ross McCammon, the article’s author, acknowledges that the pop star’s presence renders him speechless and unable to keep his composure. Interwoven into anecdotes and narrative scenes explicating Rihanna’s desirability as a sexual subject are her statements of her sexual appetite and the pleasure that she finds in particular forms of sexual play that rehearse gendered power inequity and the titillation of pain. That Rihanna’s right arm is carefully positioned both to show the tattoo of the gun aimed at her breast, and that her fingers claw into her flesh, commingle sexual pleasure and pain, erotic desire and violence. Here and elsewhere, Rihanna employs her body as a stage for the exploration of modes of violence structured into hetero- sexual desire and practices.
