As the spring-summer fashion shows came to a climax in Paris, perhaps nothing could have successfully diverted eyeballs so much as the second season of Savage x Fenty. The fall 2020 collection of lingerie by Rihanna premiered exclusively on Amazon Prime on Friday.
Filmed inside an empty Los Angeles Convention Center over a few days in early September, Savage x Fenty Vol. 2 emerged as a neon-clad ode to body positivity. Inside tunnels draped with fabric and bathed in light, against green-hued factory floors and psychedelic woodland and jungle settings, Rosalía, Miguel, Bad Bunny, and Ella Mai performed while Cara Delevingne, Bella Hadid, Lizzo, Normani, Gigi Goode, Irina Shayk, Laura Harrier, Rico Nasty, Demi Moore, Soo Joo Park, and Lyric Mariah were among the diverse cast of models.
Behind-the-scenes documentary footage, interviews, and personal reminiscences interspersed the heightened sensuality of the clothes and livewire musical performances, with dancing choreographed by Parris Goebel. And there was an added focus this year on men’s undergarments, with loungewear, boxers, and form-fitting trunks designed by Christian Combs, son of the artist formerly known as Puff Daddy.
