Rihanna collaborates with Manolo Blahnik to launch a new shoe collection

Rihanna has modelled her new footwear collection on the cover of a fashion magazine. Designed by the pop star, the Spring 2016 Denim Desserts collection of shoes has been created in collaboration with Manolo Blahnik.

Featuring denim, sequins and artisan embroidery inspired by the singer's hand tattoos, the capsule collection comprises six limited-edition designs. The most exclusive design of the collection is a waist-high, stiletto-heel denim boot. Dubbed, 9 to 5, the pant-like boots feature a pointed toe and an elaborate crystal trim along the top. The pièce de résistance is designed to be strapped on with a jewelencrusted belt at the waist.

Rihanna describes them in her own style, "Those boots are dangerous. Those boots are trouble."

Also asserting that the Denim Desserts collection aren't "date" type shoes, the singer has also designed a more wearable option with the Dancehall Cowgirl style.

It is a shorter, light-wash denim bootie festooned with beading and a lace-up front.

Ranging from $ 900 to $4,000, the Rihanna x Manolo Blahnik Denim Desserts collection will hit shelves from May 5 in the London, New York and Hong Kong stores exclusively.
