R&B starlet Rihanna is to co-produce and feature in a new television programme aiming to discover fresh fashion design talent.

Aspiring young creatives will compete to make outfits for famous guest figures, the competition’s ultimate honour being the chance to design a stage outfit for Rihanna to wear during her headlining set at this year’s Wireless Festival.

The untitled show will be broadcast on Sky Living over ten weeks, with solo Girls Aloud star Nicola Roberts confirmed to present.

Says Rihanna of the venture: “I am excited to follow in the journey of our contestants and see how their individuality influences their efforts during the course of the show”.

So, anything goes. Although no ‘Fuck You’-emblazoned brothel creepers please, we’re British.
