Rihanna’s kicking off her fashion career.
The Barbados-born, self-described “bad gal” is slated to show her Puma collection at New York Fashion Week in February 2016.
The news wasn’t announced per se, but the 27-year-old Tweeted a link to the items being auctioned for her Diamond Ball charity event- the list featured a “Front Row at Puma by Rihanna NYFW Show, 2016” experience currently going for $15,000.
“For a chance to see one of Rihanna’s many creative collaborations up-close, you and one guest will be flown business class to New York for two nights to experience the premier Puma by Rihanna AW16 fashion show, is February 12, 2016 from 8pm-9pm EST,” the description reads.
The package also includes an after-party invite, an art piece and sneakers galore, like her sold out, Creepers autographed and “in each color from the AW15 collection”
Rihanna took the helm of Puma’s women’s training line last year, when she was named Puma’s Creative Director.
