As for the inspiration behind the dark and daring shoot, AnOther explained, "Immersing Rihanna into the world of Alexander McQueen, the shoot is a celebratory layering of the past, the present and the future. From footwear from Lee McQueen's 1997 collection for Givenchy—a heel itself inspired by a seventeenth-century Chopine shoe—to a one-of-a-kind glittering harness, military coat and pinstripe wool trousers custom-made especially for Rihanna and AnOther Magazine by McQueen's creative director, Sarah Burton."
Rihanna also Instagrammed a bevy pf pics, writing, "My @anothermagazine cover celebrating @worldmcqueen Present, Past & Future: shot by @inezvinoodh ....more at AnotherMag.com."
