Rihanna, Look by Look

Talk That Talk Album Packaging

Mel says, "Rihanna as a Russ Meyer vixen 2011. We got these from a guy selling vintage out of the back of a truck. The ass was already perfectly ripped out. Yes, the T-shirt is wet."

"We Found Love" Music Video

Mel says, "This became a Raised By Wolves moment. Everything is vintage. The acid-washed jacket from Cherry has a handpainted Suicidal Tendencies logo on the back. The vintage crop-top has suspenders connecting it to the skirt. I loved making this video."

Talk That Talk Album Packaging

Mel says, "Found this camo-printed cute-but-kinda-nasty dress at Opening Ceremony. Garter belts and creepers work with everything Rihanna right now. We were sick of heels. Silver collar tips from Western Spirit complete the look."

X-Factor US Live Performance

Mel says, "'93 hip hop meets St. Mark's Place. Strategically placed holes in vintage Levi's  make them easy to dance in. Adam Selman made the bra: he's bandana obsessed and the inspiration for Ri's bandana moment."
