2016’s most devise fashion trend is on the rise—thanks to rihanna 👢
Since RiRi and A$AP Rocky welcomed their unnamed son into the world in May, the Fenty Beauty founder has taken to the European summer festival circuit, channelled a “bad gal babushka” in Portugal and even made a surprise appearance at a South London barber shop to showcase her signature eclectic style.
During a night out on the town in New York, America’s youngest self-made billionaire proved the virality of her wardrobe with a divisive look that has certainly separated the fashion set. Rih’s upper-thigh grazing suede boots are from Belgian designer Glenn Martin’s most recent trompe-l’œil collection for Y/Project.Imaxtreefinally clearing after weeks of severe downpour, not only is suede a bold choice for the sweltering heat, but the fact Rihanna is reintroducing the deconstructed pant boot into the world is enough to get designer’s tongues wagging.
However as these styles begin to get the fast fashion treatment, it’s quite liberating to see Rihanna throw this trend to the wind and dissect the aesthetic by pairing the boots with a micro mini.
