Since its launch, Bianco has collaborated with multi-hyphenated singer, songwriter, actress and fashion entrepreneur Rihanna on her Fenty brand, setting the new standard of diversity and inclusivity that many emerging and established brands have followed. Rihanna’s businesses, including Fenty Beauty, Fenty Skin, lingerie brand Savage x Fenty, and fashion label Fenty, have all upheld this ethos, cultivating a loyal following while attracting luxury fashion house LVMH to its roster.
The brand launch campaign, under the creative direction of Rihanna and Bianco and photographed and directed by Glen Luchford, established the Fenty credo and introduced members of the assembly. Subsequent still, film, and interactive campaigns Bianco creative directed with photographers including Katsu Naito, Liz Johnson Artur, Inez & Vinoodh, and Jack Davison have featured both masterful still lifes and contemporary portraits of incredible Black women and men, embracing the message on natural beauty and boundless strength, and championing those who refuse to settle into society’s version of beauty.
