Earlier this month, Rihanna revealed to the world (or, rather, the small sliver of it that happened to catch her appearance on Ryan Seacrest’s radio show) that she is currently “pursuing a fashion line.” Fashion press, ever weary of such pronouncements, responded with a collective eye roll and a handful of well-aimed barbs at the 24-year-old star.  [[MORE]] Celebrity designers are hardly a new...
