Travis Scott is so ugly and is friends with JB. Can Rih not associate with trash for once

I'm pretty sure that the sock line + PUMA stuff is supposed to prove to investors that a large-scale fashion/beauty line with Rih's name would be profitable. If she's really trying to do something big she's going to need a lot of money and a lot people in her corner. I've always assumed that the random fashion projects this year were meant to lead into her Fenty brand. She laid the groundwork last year by trademarking everything and this is the year to prove her selling power. Granted, I could be completely wrong, but I see no other reason to do a sock line. Unless they gave her a ****-ton of money, but how could Stance afford that?

Oh, and Rih is doing a surprise performance for NYFW.

P.S. Rih is at another Travis show right now

That's a good theory but a sock line seems like such a weak way to show that. Actual lines with companies like River Island, DIOR, PUMA etc make more sense. And I may be wrong but I don't really see the Navy going all out for these socks. Cuz...they're socks lol. That's why I view it more as a pet pet project like her flash tattoo line. Maybe a few socks will sell out but I don't think it's going to be a proving success or a show of sale power or anything cause I mean..they're socks lol. I feel like if she wanted to show investors something, this wouldn't be fashion endeavour to prove it. She prob just wanted to do it But I don't know. It might not be that deep at all cause you know...socks.



ps. Maybe Stance is owned by a larger company and that's where they get $$$? who knows.

[seismicity]

Wow, so is Rih ****ing him or what? I get stanning but why is she following him around like that? Aubrih all over again (maybe even slightly chrianna again because he's violent trash) I'm just waiting for pics of them cosying up or something

TravRih?? + something like a mediocre RIR/chile performance + no R8 album/single would be the end of me. It'd break me as a stan

I thought she chose Stance because it's irrelevant/underground and any boost in sales would be 100% thanks to her. With big companies you can always attribute that to other things, but with Stance? Not so much. Kinda the same with Puma because they've been ignored in recent years.

To launch a full fashion/beauty line she wouldn't be relying on the navy. It's not a fanbase thing, it's 1) Do people trust your brand enough? And 2) Do they view you as relevant in towards of their fashion?

But yeah, she could just be doing socks for fun. If so

[Jay Fenty]

Any Navy members good with photoshop? I just made my first avatar and im dissapointed with this crappy quality, is there anyway someone could give this avatar justice and make it better quality for me? it would be MUCH appreciated I love this avi and really wanna slay with it

Mhmm that's a good point actually.
I can see increases happening (relative to their sales before Rihanna) but in the end, I don't think she'll move that much. Maybe a shoe line with Stance or something would have been better. Like who's really out here buying $20 socks like that? I don't think it's a fair testament to her fan base/selling power because...socks. Socks are not really lucrative on their own anyway, with or w/o her .

But if your theory is right, I suppose the sock line makes more sense because it's a lot cheaper to create and sell (price wise) socks than shoes or something like that. Makes sense test-investment wise.

You're right! Collaborating with companies like Stance and PUMA give her an opportunity to boost the sales and relevance of lower level brands which in turn, strengthens her own brand because the success will be attributed to her. It's part of the reason why she's build a rep of being a force in the fashion world, people BELIEVE that she's a trend setter and you're not gonna set trends with big name endorsements. Endorsements from Dior and big name brands are meant to solidify her status as a fashion icon but there's nothing that she can do for Dior that hasn't already been done in terms of success.

[RihRihGirrrl]

tbh it's about time Rih starts the ground work to launch her own fashion empire. Her endorsements and products have all been very successful. From her perfumes to Nivea, River Island, Dior, MAC, Puma, all of these brands have seen an increase in revenue after she signed. She's got great selling power and she would be a fool NOT to take advantage of that.

this is the worst possible outcome.

Just heard Selena's Rihject (snippet). Sounds like something that could have fit in with Higher and JJ (sonically). Never mind i just heard the full lol

[keerbyriri]

Did she forget about R8

I may be wrong, but someone on here said that Rihanna's previous sock line for Stance sold out in just a few hours.

And i feel like she's already proved her selling power. She increased the sales with Dior, Puma and MAC Cosmetics.

Hopefully she's just a friend supporting a friend.
