Earlier this week, Bajan sensation Rihanna confirmed that she has started working on the next season's line for her River Island clothing collection and co-designer Adam Selman has opened up about the inspiration behind the new range.

He spoke to Billboard.com about Rihanna's River Island collaboration and admitted that she is going to be releasing an Autumn/Winter collection, and it has a 'sporty' vibe:

"Actually the collection is already fully developed and we are shooting the ad campaign soon. Rihanna wanted a slightly athletic/sporty vibe for the collection. We were inspired with how athletic clothes like baseball and basketball jersey's have become an urban uniform of sorts on the streets."

"Rihanna wanted to translate that into the clothes and give it her special twist. Of course, her collection has much more to offer than just that, but it was a big inspiration for a chunk of the autumn collection.”
