Spread 'Em: Rihanna for GQ Magazine

Not only has Rih-Rih been attempting to market herself as a badass, but she's also gone down the 'I'm only going to appear half naked anytime I'm in public' route. Yes, she's very pretty and her body is amazing... but I don't want to see her flesh at all times. Considering that she didn't sell nearly as many albums as forecasted- she may want to consider tweaking the new image. (Shoutout to Susan Boyle! She's KILLING the game with clothing on)

In any case- here are the images. Enjoy!

INTRODUCING: "D.O.C" x ROCKPORT

 Truly for the aspirational at heart, the shoe features an array of luxe materials. The dark grey Melton wool & black suede upper is reminiscent of fabrics used on premium varsity jackets while the black and white gingham lining counter-balances the darkness of the shoe. Giving it the sense of luxury found in tailored suits and handcrafted luggage, pinstripes were also added to the upper. A butter soft leather heel and embossed leather patches on the tongue further compliment the refined aesthetic. To lighten up the design, a pop of color was incorporated through the use of pink-waxed laces. Hand sewn elements and purple stitching found on the heel mimic the construction of apparel and provides the perfect finishing touch to tie it all together.

There are only 100 pairs available globally. So, on November 27th head over to UNDRCRWN.com and buy one while supplies last! These will be sold QUICKLY! 

AND- Because a girl needs props too! *wink*... read what "D.O.C" had to say about moi...

"Fashion/marketing/PR expert Kari Cruz orchestrated the entire project. Her expertise in the fashion/streetwear market gave this project even more authenticity adding to the design." 

 The color story was heavily inspired by escape & travel. The sentiment here is a "Miami Sunset." Do you see any similarities?
