For everyone wondering where Rihanna’s #R8 is…. well here’s one thing that has kept her busy.
Rih has partnered with fine jewelry designer Jacquie Aiche on a collection of metallic temporary tattoos, inspired by the designer’s jewelry. Aiche has been one of the pop star’s go-to accessory designers for years and she’s worn JA jewelry in magazines, to Coachella, to New York Fashion Week shows, and innumerable other places. So it’s no surprise that they have finally teamed up for an affordable collection that will appeal to everyone.
“Creating the tattoos was a really collaborative process between Rihanna and myself,” said Aiche. “There are gothic tattoos, but then we mixed in lots of daintier pieces for layering that are reminiscent of the way we stack our jewelry.”
The collection, which comes in a seven-sheet set, includes cuticle and knuckle wraps, a DIY chain set, Gothic letter tattoo, arm bands and chains, and will be sold exclusively on Aiche’s Web site for $19 beginning today. Aiche also teased a second temporary tattoo collaboration with Rihanna to come, describing the next round as “something a little softer and sexier with some unexpected inspiration.”
Jacquie Aiche spoke to Haus of Rihanna about the collaboration and how the Barbadian has inspired her over the years. Check out the interview:
How did the Jacquie Aiche + Rihanna collaboration come about?
While on her vacation, Rihanna felt that removable tattoos was the next adventure she wanted to share with all her fans. She approached me with the idea and of course, I was flattered.
How involved was Rihanna in the process?
Rihanna wanted to share her vision with all of her fans and being able to create removable tattoos was an exciting adventure. It was the best of both worlds, her tattoos with the essence of my jewelry was perfect for her fans to enjoy.
Rihanna has been wearing your jewelry for a few years now. How did the two of you first connect?
We connected through a mutual friend. It’s been a delight ever since to create jewels for her.
You site “badgalriri” as a muse. What do you find is inspiring about her?
She’s a feminine bad girl….
I can relate to that very well.
Rihanna has qualities that every girl can relate to.
Your jewelry is so beautiful and delicate. How did you become a jewelry designer?
Making women feel special has always been a part of my character. And being able to share my energy through jewels has been such a wonderful experience. Buy HERE
