As everybody knows, February is Black History Month. Among the various ways in which we could celebrate it, we finally opted for our own way, namely that of fashion.

Talented, passionate and determined, they are all going to be your next role model – and ours, too!

Rihanna’s fashion skills were visible from the very beginning, and it didn’t take long until she joined the fashion industry.

In 2016, her widely-famous clothing line Fenty came out, and its first debut was at New York Fashion Week. Ever since the first appearance, Rihanna’s collections and fashion taste have only been acclaimed and praised. Hail the Queen!
