'I am an immigrant, of mixed race, and I bring that perspective with me,' she said of designing the high-end line. 

The singer, who is a blend of African, Guyanese, Barbadian and Irish ancestry, confessed she's a 'control freak' when it comes to design, added: 'I am my own muse. 

'It's bad*ss, it's daring, it pushes the envelope. It's confident. It has a strong silhouette. I want everyone to wear it. But I've got to make it right for me.'

Rihanna's debut collection for her fashion line launches May 29 and she will no doubt be hoping to mimic the success of her Fenty Beauty collection, which made $100 million in the first few weeks after they were released and have continued to be a fan favorite. 

The Umbrella hitmaker first announced the news on Instagram and wrote: 'Big day for the culture. thank you Mr.Arnault for believing in this little girl from the left side of an island, and for giving me the opportunity to grow with you at.

'This is proof that nothing is impossible. Glory be to God.'

The launch comes after she revealed she's been living in London for a year- unbeknownst to her legions of fans.

The singer who originally hails from Barbados, told The New York Times she's been 'keeping a little incognito' while staying in the capital and is enjoying the relative anonymity the city brings.

She said: '[I enjoy] walking around the block. When I go walking, I try to keep it a little incognito,' adding she finds Bank Holidays 'insane' [in a good way].

On learning of the move, Brits have gone wild with excitement - with many joining the dots from last week, when the star shared a selfie which had a supermarket bag from Sainsbury's in the backdrop.
