Rihanna has signed on to be the executive producer of a new fashion competition show being developed for British television.
The show, which does not yet have a title, is set to debut on the Sky
Living channel in Britain. It will be hosted by Girls Aloud singer
Nicola Roberts and include appearances by Rihanna herself, though it is unclear how frequently the pop star will be on the show.
"I've always had a great love of fashion. It's a constant source of
inspiration in my life, and is a big reason why I've grown into the
person and artist I am today," the singer
said in a statement on Sky Living's website. "I have been very
fortunate to work with some truly amazing designers and stylists
throughout my career, and they have been instrumental in making sure my
creative vision reaches the stage. I am excited to follow the journey of
our aspiring contestants and see how their individuality influences
their efforts during the course of the show."
The show, which will presumably bear some resemblance to "Project
Runway" in terms of format, will culminate with a final challenge in
which the remaining designers must create a unique stage outfit for Rihanna's performance at the Wireless festival in Hyde Park, England, in July.
