Sketch for Rihanna’s costume in Baku, Azerbaijan by Adam Selman! ok

“Rih Fashion Fact: For Rih’s Baku concert this past weekend, frequent collaborator Adam Selman designed her look. He also designed the fabric’s print from scratch. The print sums up all the themes and vibes Adam and Mel Ottenberg played with this summer for Rihanna’s “Gangster Cleopatra” show looks. Quote from Mel: “This Baku show was the final Talk That Talk moment before we go into the next chapter, so we wanted to do one more killer Egytian Cleopatra look. I love how electric the print was onstage.” The sunglasses are Kenzo s/s 2013 from their menswear collection and the boots are from Opening Ceremony.”
