The series was originally scheduled to debut on November 5, 2013, on the now defunct Style Network.[3] However two weeks before its September 23, 2013 debut, the Esquire Network was announced as taking over Style's channel space, rather than G4 as originally planned.[4] It was announced on September 30, 2013, that the series would premiere October 25, 2013, on Bravo.[1]
The show was cancelled after just one season due to low viewership and Rihanna's busy schedule.[5]
Format
Similar to Project Runway, the series was also looking for new designers to create fashion for A-list celebrities in the world. Supported by their mentors, the candidates who were chosen as well as the mentors all by Rihanna personally, would fight in a weekly battle for the final.[6] Weekly, the candidates would design outfits for one or more music celebrities. Normally the celebrities select the winners outfit by themselves. Every week produced a winner and two bottom contestants who would have to assert themselves verbally, until finally the worst of the week was eliminated.[7] In the final, the two best designers would fight to win a $100,000 cash prize, a fashion feature in Glamour magazine and the chance to become the next member of Rihanna's design team.[3]
On May 15, 2013, it was announced that American singer and fashion designer Pharrell Williams would serve as one of the mentors on the series.[8][9] Five days later on May 20, 2013, it was revealed that American model Erin Wasson joined the series as another mentor.[10] Mel Ottenberg was announced as the third and final mentor on May 29, 2013.[11]
