Over the past few days numerous blogs have been posting the photos from the Dimepiece Autumn/Winter 2009 look book starring Cassie as they leaked one by one. Well we have all the images; totaling a sum of just above 30. The Dimpiece x Cassie campaign is a cross promotion venture between the clothing line and Cassie’s upcoming album, Electro Love. Some clothing items, mainly t-shirts, will be made to be released along with the album.

This idea really turned out well. As people are convinced she’s talentless, focusing more on her aesthetic whilst releasing catchy music will most definitely work in her favor in the long run. Look how much it has worked in Rihanna’s favor. Yes, Rihanna is a singer but since the beginning of this year we’ve seen so much of her it seems that she is a socialite who released a few albums rather than a singer with an edgy style. Of course that will change by the end of the year when the music starts coming in.

 

At the beginning of the week we reported unofficial news of Rihanna’s astronomically anticipated fourth LP. Well now we have some concrete news on Rihanna’s forthcoming effort:

Rihanna is currently in the studio working on her next album. She will be working with Kanye West, Stargate, SRP, James Fauntleroy, Tricky and The Dream, and Tyson Ritter (All American Rejects) just to name a few. The new album is slated for a Fall 2009 release. [SOURCE]

Well some may be upset but the island RiRi we came to know in 2005 is ‘Dead & Gone’. Eventhough this may not be any decision of Rihanna’s we love it because it is an evolution of a cultural pop icon. Being at the top like Rihanna is not just based on a passion for music; there is hardcore business and strategy behind it all, sad to say but it’s true. Rihanna’s image is 70-80% of the reason why she stays relevant and her music needs to match that. Rihanna has definitely redefined what a POPular girl is and we can’t help but be infatuated with it. Her sound and style will continue to take all the left turns spawning another mega-success. Looks like ‘Little Miss Sunshine’ will be gleaming for some time to come.

A solid Dunk Hi Skinny Pack is coming from the Nike Sportswear Fall 2009 Collection. The pack will come in two flavors; a blue/white check pattern with a matching blue nylon toe box and a red/white checker pattern with a matching red nylon toe box. This fresh footwear will be available very soon.
