Rated R

Last night I went to Rihanna's Rated R tour at the o2 arena. Amazing production! Being a huge fan and knowing the suspense and general news that her previous dates began by turning up late on stage, I awaited patiently. Before hand o2 had set up a small exhibition for all ticket holders to see Rihanna's past costumes and dress. A darkly lit room showcasing her personal photos and iconic dress from music video's and shoots reflected a timeline of Rihanna. My most expectations would be to see a variety of designers each displaying their piece for Rihanna however every single garment was from Paris born designer Alexandre Vauthier.



And it seems not only has Rihanna got a wardrobe filled with Vauthier's designs. It appears Vauthier has also designed for the likes of Lady Gaga, Ciara and the infamous gold dress for Beyoncé at Glastonbury. Beyoncé features many of Vauthier's designs from her latest album 4.

  

With a very distinctive style, Vauthier creates showstopping silouhuette peices with a key feature focusing on statement shoulders. Whether it's furr or hard structured shoulders, Vauthier resembles an influence of a Balmain rock and spike appeal.
