The Limited Edition 'Rihannazine'
If there’s any word to embody the inimitable success and character of Rihanna, it’d be this one: trailblazer. The singer, entrepreneur, and beauty & fashion mogul recently released her collaboration with i-D magazine called rihannazine, a collection of visuals and interviews with influencers she believes are changing the game for the better.
Handpicked by Rihanna and i-D, the collaboration features 43 inspirational icons across all platforms: from art, to beauty, to film, to music, to activism, and more, these people are all using their platforms to progressively re-shape culture in any way they can.
Newer names such as Alexa Demie and Adut Akech—who have recently cemented their place in the film and modeling industry—are included in the zine, along with models Bella and Gigi Hadid, musicians Rico Nasty and Young M.A, Ru Paul’s Drag Race star Vanessa Vanjie Mateo, and choreographer Parris Goebel. Activists such as 11-year-old Yolanda Renee King and Tarana Burke, founder of the #MeToo movement, are also featured in the issue.
"It is dedicated to some of the people who are progressively reshaping the communities across fashion, music, art and activism -- creating a more inclusive and diverse future."

Creator of Fenty Beauty and Savage X Fenty, Rihanna is a visionary all her own. She’s the blueprint for everything it means to be an influencer, a recent social media buzzword that many have unrightfully taken claim over. In her decade-and-a-half career, she’s pushed the boundaries of musicianship while also taking the beauty and fashion world by storm.
If anyone’s going to be the one to help flaunt the diversity and power the industry has in its fingertips, who better than Rihanna?
