The show was cancelled after just one season due to low viewership and Rihanna's busy schedule. [5]

Supported by their mentors, the candidates who were chosen as well as the mentors all by Rihanna personally, would fight in a weekly battle for the final. [6] Weekly, the candidates would design outfits for one or more music celebrities. Normally the celebrities select the winners outfit by themselves. Every week produced a winner and two bottom contestants who would have to assert themselves verbally, until finally the worst of the week was eliminated. [7] In the final, the two best designers would fight to win a $100,000 cash prize, a fashion feature in Glamour magazine and the chance to become the next member of Rihanna's design team. [3]

On May 15, 2013, it was announced that American singer and fashion designer Pharrell Williams would serve as one of the mentors on the series.
