Rihanna by Terry Richardson for CR Fashion Book: Issue #9
“I wanted to show that she is not just a
villain to be despised or a muse to be channeled,” says Carine. “She is
neither, actually. She is a prototype for contemporary fame, body,
beauty, celebrity, and femininity. Everything done by her and to her has
influenced society’s concept of womanhood, for better or worse.”
Looking at the life and times of Marie Antoinette, we begin to see
parallels between her and the female celebrities of today. Who besides
our modern pop stars are followed with more obsession and desire?
Rihanna is beloved while Marie Antoinette was not, but she shares with
the Queen an unapologetic attitude that inspires and fascinates. She
says what she wants, smokes what she wants, and wears what she wants,
making her an icon of authenticity in an era of calculated, pre-baked
fame.”
