‘I didn’t fit the mold’: Rihanna admits there have been times when she was not ‘confident’ shopping for lingerie and that is why her line is all inclusive
Rihanna hopes to help people ‘feel represented’ in her Savage x Fenty stores.
The Love On The Brain hitmaker – who has recently been more focused on her fashion and beauty lines – wants customers to step out of her boutiques, which just opened five locations such as Los Angeles and Las Vegas, ‘feeling confident.’
The siren also said she wants her fans to feel like ‘they belong.’
The 34-year-old fashion and beauty mogul told ‘I’ve experienced being a customer and shopping in the lingerie space and have felt as if I didn’t fit the mold of the product.
‘I’ve experienced being a customer and shopping in the lingerie space and have felt as if I didn’t fit the mold of the product.
‘But Savage x Fenty is very inclusive, and I want to continue to expand on that so that our consumers can feel our commitment within the retail space.’
The Fenty Beauty creator modeled all the shop’s mannequins ‘off of real people’ to allow customers to ‘feel seen and sexy’.
She said: ‘You know, we actually cast all of the mannequins off of real people.
‘I wanted to make sure we included as many different body types as possible because you don’t get to see curvy women and curvy men in this aspect.’
She added it ‘was important because everyone wants to feel seen and sexy.’
Rihanna – who recently revealed she is expecting her first child with rapper boyfriend A$AP Rocky – is ‘really into pushing the idea of sexy’ as a mother-to-be.
She added: ‘Right now I’m really into pushing the idea of sexy. When women get pregnant, society tends to make it feel like you hide, hide your sexy, and that you’re not sexy right now [but] you’ll get back there and I don’t believe in that s***.
‘So I’m trying stuff that I might not have even had the confidence to try before I was pregnant. The strappiest, the thinnest, and the more cut-outs the better for me.’
