Rihanna takes risks with fashion

Pop diva Rihanna likes to take risks when it comes to fashion. The S&M hitmaker enjoys pushing boundaries and that she likes to try the unusual. “It’s become more about taking a risk. When I am putting looks together, I dare myself to make something work,” she said.

“I always look for the most interesting silhouette or something that’s a little off, but I have to figure it out. I have to make it me. I think that’s the thrill in fashion.

“When I was 14 and first started going out, I always wanted to be the opposite of everyone else. So I would go to the club in a polo T-shirt and pants and sneakers and a hat on backward, just so I would not be dressed like other girls.

“And I got desperate for things that weren’t available in Barbados. I would cut things out of magazines. I was obsessed with creating a visual with clothing, and the way things are combined.”

Rihanna recently revealed how her relationship with her father fell apart after he sold her out to the media.

“It really makes me question what I have become to my father. Like, what do I even mean to him?” she said.

“It’s really strange. That’s the only word I can think of to describe it, because you grow up with your father, you know him, you are a part of him, for goodness’ sakes! And then he does something so bizarre that I can’t begin to wrap my mind around it.

“You hear the horror stories about people going behind people’s backs and doing strange things, but you always think, Not my family. My father would never do that to me.

“That was the first time.

“My dad went to the press and just told them a bunch of lies. Because he hadn’t talked to me after…that whole thing…. He never called to find out how I was doing, if I was alive, nothing. He just never called. He went straight to the press and got a check. And now he does it again.”

“Now I’m like, Whatever, I tried.”
