In the know. In news you never knew you needed, but now can’t live without, Rihanna is reportedly launching her own luxury fashion house with LVMH. According to WWD, a number of sources have confirmed the rumours.

Said pop-up store will be open to the public from January 17, until January 29, and will also feature Off-White’s latest collection of bags and shoes. We have no doubt Abloh’s designs will sell out fast, so you'd better get in quick. [WWD]
