Over the weekend singer Rihanna unveiled her clothing collection for high street chain River Island at London Fashion Week. CLICK HERE to view more photographs. The last time I ventured in to River Island (by accident) was back in the early noughties. Anyway I like Rihanna but there is nothing original or innovative about this collection.

For some strange reason the woman always fails to convince in her interviews. Your thoughts please…..
