Rihanna's Fenty Puma line might be coming to Paris Fashion Week

New York - Rihanna is a star who likes to do things big, and she certainly made waves with her Fenty Puma collection which debuted at New York Fashion Week last February. Now, it has been reported she has her sights set on the mother of all fashion weeks for her next collection: Paris Fashion Week.

Puma is currently seeking a time slot for the show which will be somewhere between September 27 to October 5 when the shows are set to take place.

On Wednesday, it was revealed that Fenty Puma would not be showing at New York Fashion Week next month. It's unusual for brands that were so successful last season to just skip Fashion Week, and speculation immediately began as to what was planned for the line.

Rihanna seeking spot on Paris Fashion Week calendar

Rihanna's subbrand will still have a presence at New York Fashion Week though, with a series of pop-up shops planned to mark the release of the fall collection. On September 6, Fenty pop-up shops will open at Bergdorf Goodman and Footlocker's prestige retail Six:02.

The collection will be exclusive to those pop-up shops for 24 hours before they go worldwide for distribution on September 7.

If Rihanna were to show at Paris Fashion Week, she would be part of a very history making season which includes Maria Grazia Chiuri's first collection for Dior, Anthony Vaccarello's first collection for Saint Laurent, Bouchra Jarrar's first collection for Lanvin, and Pierpaolo Picciolli's first solo collection for Valentino.

While the preliminary calendar for Paris Fashion Week was released by the Chambre de Synical on Wednesday did not include a slot for Puma, the calendar is of course known to shift plenty between now and the beginning of the shows.

Rihanna, whose real name is Robyn Fenty, became Puma's creative director in 2014 when they signed a three year deal with her.

It was a smart business move for the brand, as her Fenty slides sold out within 24 hours of going on the market. Her creeper shoe has also been successful.
