Breakups are always hard, there is crying and sometimes (at least one would hope) a reflection on what you learned from the relationship. So when we heard of the split between Rihanna and LVMH, Fenty’s parent company, although there were no tears we took a moment to reflect on what came out of it. Let’s just say it birthed some beautiful pieces and we are sharing our top picks from the relationship that lasted only two years.
Firstly, who is LVMH? LVMH Moët Hennessy Louis Vuitton is only one of the largest corporations in the world specializing in luxury goods and home to over 75 brands in multiple categories. From Hennesey to Fendi, Hublot to Sephora, LVMH has a hand in some of the most luxurious brands in the world. When Fenty Fashion was born in 2019, Rihanna was the first woman of color to create and ran an original brand under the LVMH umbrella. This was a big deal! Cut to two years later and an announcement that LVMH will be putting a hold on the relationship until conditions are better, we are not quite sure what that means!
Back to what came out of the relationship, here are five pieces that we love.
Fenty Corset Blazer Dress
This tailored corset mini dress is the perfect addition to your closet because of its season versatility. In cooler months, wear it as a layering piece to your coat and the finishing touch to a casual outfit with a pair of leggings, boots or sneakers, and a T-shirt. Such a fun and casual addition to your wardrobe.
In warmer months it can be worn over your favorite summer dress. You know we are all about multi-season clothing so this number gets a solid must-have rating in our books.
Fenty Meshy Mules 105
Sheer mesh high-heeled mules in Jet Black, an elegant icing on the cake to any outfit. The versatile slip-on can take you from work to play. Paired with anything from a power suit to a casual dress for brunch, you can’t really go wrong.
Fenty XLong Open Knitted Dress
If you love the idea of comfortable casual on a hot summer day as an alternative to shorts then this beautiful long jersey sheer dress is the perfect dress for you. With the thin and lightweight material, it is breathable while serving a lot of personality in a mustard yellow. If the side-boob is a little too revealing for your taste, wear a white tank top or elevate the whole look with a collared blouse and pumps for a dinner party or just because.
Fenty Denim pleated pants
The oversized mid-rise Japanese denim with a front fold may just become your new favourite alternative to skinny denim. They are casual, comfortable, and elegant all at the same time! Another season and style versatile piece.
The possibilities are endless with any of these investment pieces from Fenty, with a halt in production you might want to add them to your closet while they are still available. It is important to note that as of March 1st, 2021, orders cannot be made on Fenty.com but our Style Finder service can help you track these pieces down.
