Rumors have been swirling since it was brought to the attention of the fashion industry that Rihanna's Fenty Puma line was not on the New York Fashion Week calendar this season. Speculation began that she would be showing at Paris Fashion Week.

Now, the rumors have been confirmed. Rihanna has scheduled two Fenty Puma presentations for September 28 at 7:30 and 8:30 p.m.

“It’s a dream for me to be able to present my second collection of Fenty Puma by Rihanna in Paris,” said Rihanna to WWD. She is also Puma's creative director. “I approached this season very differently and felt the theme and concept was best suited for one of my favorite cities, Paris.”

The collection is to be presented to buyers, press, influencers and the world in a unique, intimate and very different way befitting of the collection’s direction, style and its namesake creative director,” Fenty Puma said in a statement.

The presentations will be live streamed by Tidal.

The small controversy that the Fenty Puma show has run into is that it could affect the attendance at the Lemaire and Vionnet shows on the calendar for 7 and 8 p.m.

In 2014, Kering, which owns Puma, signed Rihanna to a three-year contract deal. The Fenty collection takes its name from Rihanna's legal last name, with her legal name being Robyn Fenty.

Her fur slides sold out at retail, which comes as no surprise given her status as a fashion icon.
