Rihanna for 032c Winter 2013

Looks like Rihanna is back at it again after appearing in British GQ, this time teaming up with photographers Inez van Lamsweerde and Vindooh Matadoin. The trio worked together for an editorial for the contemporary culture magazine 032c for their latest Winter 2013 issue. The photos were shot on Broome Street in Lower Manhattan, and I really am digging what they created for the spread, which was shot entirely in black and white.

As 032c states, "Rihanna  is the unfiltered and fiercely productive icon that every era needs and obsesses about." Regardless if that's true or not, one thing I'm sure of is that these are some great photos, so go ahead and check them out.
