Following news that Rihanna is suing her father over misuse of the Fenty trademark, rumors have now started circulating that RiRi is set to launch her own luxury house with LVMH.
WWD has reported that Rihanna has been in secret discussions with the conglomerate and that select employees from other LVMH labels like Louis Vuitton and Celine have already been handpicked to work on the project. At this time, there’s been no confirmation from either Rihanna or LVMH on the alleged partnership, but there’s no doubt the star is bankable, as the success of her Fenty Beauty line and Savage X Fenty lingerie line proves.
