Savage X Fenty's Getting a New CEO
Rihanna is stepping down as Savage X Fenty's CEO, with former Anthropologie CEO Hillary Super set to take her place.
With the change set to go into motion on June 26, Rihanna will still own Savage X Fenty. Simply, the billionaire will be focusing on a larger role as an executive chairman with Super more so supporting her.
Rihanna shook the intimates world in 2018 when she launched Savage X Fenty. It's a genuinely inclusive lingerie brand, from sizing to the diverse casts comprising its yearly fashion show. Sorry, Victoria's Secret who?
Though, we're still scratching our heads over the Johnny Depp moment. Anywho. Savage X Fenty's televised fashion shows are easily one of the most anticipated fashion events of the year.
Each year, Savage X Fenty puts on a star-studded spectacle, which all began with its New York Fashion Week presentation in 2018.
Over the years, we've seen names like Taraji P. Henson, Normani, Bella Hadid, and Gigi Hadid secure star moments and performances by acts like Big Sean, Migos, and Don Toliver. In between, models dance and strut in the latest Savage X Fenty pieces, with Parris Gloebel's energetic choreography emphasizing the garments' security and quality. Genius.
Having landed collaborations with Adam Selman and sizzling campaigns starring the bad gal, Savage X Fenty is quite iconic, like its mogul founder.
Rihanna has faith in Super — whose resume includes previous positions at GAP, Guess, and American Eagle — stating that Super is focused on "taking the business to an even higher level."
There has been an increased emphasis on retail expansion in Savage X's future. Rihanna's five-year-old brand currently has stores located in Los Angeles, Las Vegas, Houston, and Atlanta — with hopes of opening even more.
