Dear TEB readers, we all know who can make girls feel like they can turn into bad girls…

Yeah, this month article is dedicated to our bad girl, Rihanna.

It is obvious that she has ruled the music biz since 2005: she has released 7 studio albums in a very short amount of time, gifting her fans and the general public with good danceable music for almost 8 years.

After a little break, she came back on the scene last winter reinventing her style and releasing singles like 4 5 Seconds, featuring the legendary Paul McCartney, American Oxygen and BBHMM (B***h better have my money). In October she finally revealed the title and the official artwork of her newly anticipated 8th album, ANTI...

...however she disappointed everyone by surprisingly postponing the album release date and consequently cancelling her participation to the 2015 Victoria's Secret Fashion Show. (Rumor has it this might be due to the unexpected come back of Adele...but who knows).

Keeping her fans and the public on hold, Rihanna signed a $25 million sponsorship-deal with SAMSUNG to support her album's launch and the upcoming world tour. The advertising campaign led to the launch of the ANTIdiary website (only for mobile devices), where the popstar periodically published short promo videos, called "Rooms", explaning what we can expect from the album.

It was thank to these promos that she announched the ANTI-WORLD TOUR for 2016 (the only Italian tour date is on July 13 at the San Siro Stadium in Milan). 

At the moment 7 rooms out of 8 has been revealed, so the question is: is she going to release ANTI with the last promo video?

Well nobody knows, but at least we can all expect her to sing new songs live on tour.

The bad girl definitely wants her crown back, therefore I guess we can expect some good news by the end of next month, or maybe even during The Grammys!

But music is not the only entry in Rihanna's busy agenda: aside beeing nominated the most marketable celebrity by The NPD Group's Brandlink, the singer has also landed a role in the sci-fi film Valerian and the City of a Thousand Planets, alongside Cara Delevingne, Dane DeHaan and Clive Owen; the movie is set to hit theaters on July 21, 2017.

At this point I believe that people's expectations for her upcoming projects are really high: will she be worth the wait?

Maria Grazia Chiuri and Pierpaolo Piccioli latest spring collection for Valentino has showcased what we can call an alluring fusions between Roman and African aesthetics.
Their goal? To express a message of hope with their art:

Therefore it should not be surprising to find out where the desining duo staged their new campaign: Africa, and more specifically the Amboseli National Park in Kenya.

No fashion it-photographer was hired for the campaign, just one of the most important names in the history of photography: Steve McCurry, the man who gifted National Geographic with his most iconic picture, 'Afghan Girl', which appeared on the magazine’s June 1985 cover.
Clearly the Italian label wanted to deliver a cultural vision of Africa, not a fashionable one.

Here is what McCurry told WWD about shooting the campaign for Valentino:

Mobility is the main feature of these days: we are always connected; thanks to social media, we can see what our friends, our colleagues or our schoolmates are doing - whenever and wherever.

Obviously, we share only our best moments on Facebook &co; the result: a daily hype of optimism and enthusiasm, which has a deep impact on the perception of ourselves and our lives. Have you ever thought: my life sucks, while scrolling someone’s Instagram?
That’s exactly the FOMO, the Fear of Missing Out, the anxiety to be social, to get likes and to show the best side of you.

Of course this idyllic image is completely fake, and it could happen that when you get tired of being fake, you decide to quit social media: it is the case of Essena O’Neill - the Australian model who broke free of her addiction to likes and comments by her followers.
(For the record, her action were too dramatic and she kept her Instagram up with edited captions, yes, but still: she’s accumulating followers. Was the “social media rehab” fake too? Draw your own conclusion).

When it comes to models and fashion industry, the pair being social and money is directly proportional. Casting directors will ask for models or influencer with a huge amount of followers to reach their audience, whether actual or not. And to get the best, you have to pay a lot: the three most highly ranked supers on social - Cara Delevingne, Kendall Jenner and Gigi Hadid - are currently valued between $125,000 and $300,000 for a single post across their portfolio: they earn more per post than their normal day rate!

Posting pictures of their every day lives, they monetize their images and create a personal digital brand: the more followers a model has, the more they can be appealing to the fashion industry, which can use their social profiles as advertising channels. For this new breed of models, the fact of being social is sufficient to be considered talented: imagine what Kendall Jenner - with a followership of about 65 million - is capable of!

Look beyond the screen: people who lead really exciting and amusing lives would probably not spend time sharing it on social medias.
