Citing
“Star Trek’s” visor-wearing lieutenant, Geordi La Forge, as her source
of inspiration in a release, Rihanna explained, “I’ve always been
obsessed with his eyewear, and when I got to Dior and saw all the
materials I could play with, it all just came together.”
“The
process was pretty seamless,” she continued. “I spent a day at Dior
with their eyewear design team. I started by looking through all the
archives to see what they’ve done in the past, then got acquainted with
all the new materials. I literally sat there and drew and drew until I
was happy with the design, and the team illustrated it for me right then
and there.”
Dior
CEO Sidney Toledano added, “We are very pleased to partner for the
second time with Rihanna. She is an artist, an entertainer, an
entrepreneur, a philanthropist and a style icon for today’s generation.”
