On a day that Rihanna posts even more pics of herself half-clad in a bikini with assistant Melissa Forde, she ironically announces that she is launching a clothing line.

“I’ve been wanting to design my own collection for some time,” Rihanna said of her impending fashion line in collaboration with the company River Island.

“River Island is the perfect partner for me to collaborate with and working with a British, family run business also really appealed to me.” Rihanna concluded, “I find London really inspiring and River Island loves to have fun with clothes. I’m looking forward to working with them and creating something really special.”

“Rihanna will be designing the collection and we will be sharing our fashion experience with her to develop a range her fans will love,” River Island CEO Ben Lewis said.

Rihanna’s fashion collection is set to debut in spring 2013.
