Rihanna's fashion line debut panned as 'horror show'

The chanteuse probably shouldn't quit her day job

Critics as a whole were not wowed by Rihanna's first fashion collection, which she debuted on Saturday for London Fashion Week. The Daily Beast dismissed the "porny debut" (for British retailer River Island) as "Fright Night in Kmart," eviscerating it as "tiresome, underwhelming and uninspired." Oh, and "hideous and without an ounce of panache or style ..." New York magazine was more forgiving, figuring the clothes, which range from teeny-tiny tops to slit-to-there skirts ("there" being the upper reaches of one's thigh), will sell, thanks to the power of RiRi's brand. Meanwhile, MTV gave her designs a rave, enthusing, "We're totally on-board with her comfy girly-yet-grunge pieces." Check out the complete collection here, then tell us what you think in the comments ...

Those clothes dont even look good on the models. Just wait until some drunk sweat hog squeezes into one of those outfits. Duck and cover .

Doesn't a person (even a famous one) need some talent to establish a clothing line?   I mean, don't even famous people have advisors?  I would be sooooo embarrassed to say that that was my line.....:(

Gaaaaaahh...

You can find schlock like this on just about any rack in KMart, Target or Walmart (nothing wrong with that, just saying). I hope people aren't stupid enough to pay significant money for this bland, unoriginal 'look' just because some already rich celebrity has her name on the tag.

EEEEEEEKKKK!!! Those "clothes" look pretty sh*tty even for a haute couture show!!! And, we all know that models wear  the worst, most unrealistic clothes imaginable at fashion shows. Damn. I am so tired of these  celebrities thinking that just b/c they can sell records, etc. they can become fashion designers, etc. I can see if Rihanna was even known for being fashionable (which is most certainly is not). Then, her own fashion line would make sense but, this girl proves that she has no fashion sense whatsoever!

The line of clothes should be found in Dollar stores soon, but won't sell there either.  Maybe crack hoes will buy some of these, when they run out of toilet paper or tampons.

try helping the world in an effective way... no more 'desgner' clothes.  There are so many people that need help with food, shelter and medicine....not those hideous clothes.

wow....those are pure awful.. they're terribly designed, badly made/constructed and bad styling. just because she's a successful singer doesn't mean she has talent to design a clothing line. I've seen a lot of fashion lines and collections, but this is just baaaaaad and this is supposed to be an expensive line. unless it's a joke. and it's not even skanky clothing, it's lazy wear.  either she's lazy or stupid.

I hear her clothing line will be called "candidiasis cadaver skank."  The name sure fits, huh?

Wow......She thinks she has a talent for fashion?? Guess when chris brown beat her he slammed her head a bit too hard and scrambled her brains also. These are sleazy, disgusting and nasty.......but what can you expect from a ghetto tramp? Even hookers wouldn't wear this trash..... the only thing this clothing line would be good for is to sop up grease and oil and other nasty crap spilled on the floor.

Ridiculous clothes from a ridiculous woman.

Well, all the models look like they were smacked around by Chris brown, so at least she's going for authenticity with her brand.
