Rihanna- A Fashion Designer?

Most of you know her as the "What's My Name" and "Diamonds" songstress, Barbados born beauty Rihanna has stepped into the fashion world. That's right, Rihanna's new line called "River Island" is set to debut during London Fashion Week, and hit stores this March. Rihanna explained the inspiration behind her line stems from street style of "ordinary people." Check out this video released early this week of a sneak peek of her line and some words from the designer/singer herself.

So what do you think of this singer turned designer? Is anyone eligible to be in fashion just because they are famous? I would love to hear people's thoughts on this, I have very mixed feelings on this subject. Being interested in fashion myself, it's kind of frustrating to see fashion be transformed into a popularity contest just because of someone's fame. I gotta admit though, Rihanna has some killer style.
