Vogue Italia yesterday released their cover for June, and it featured Rihanna, in a way we haven’t seen her before. Yes, she was still sexy and the coolest thing since Cool Cool bar, but this issue was unique in the way that it was shot, styled and directed by the singer gone fashion designer and makeup mogul.
She really showed us she can do it all and look alluring while at it! The issue was decidedly a DIY (Do It Yourself) theme, and while we really aren’t back to that place where we can have a huge production of a photoshoot, they proved that amazing things happen when you improvise.
Director Emanuele Farneti writes in his editorial : “In recent years we have tried to use our cover in many different ways: with photography or illustrations, or even without images. However, we had never asked the protagonist to do everything by himself: pose, photograph, choose what clothes to wear. If there was a right moment for this new experiment, it could only be the DIY issue, and there could not be a better subject than Rihanna – so many times on the covers, but never like this time in the version in which she and only she chose to show oneself, without filters and mediations “
Take a look!
