Rihanna receives PETA’s Compassion in Fashion award 

Earlier this month, Rihanna debuted a new faux leather collection for Fenty on Instagram despite living in lockdown and it was well received – not by us fans but by People for the Ethical Treatment of Animals (PETA) too.  

The collection, which features a corset dress, skirt and button-down shirts in neutral tones was created using the finest faux leather and for that, received a Compassion in Fashion award from PETA. 

The accolade marks Fenty’s second honour (following the Urban Luxe winning at the Fashion Awards).
