It’s been just days since Calvin Harris’ dropped his music video This Is What You Came For featuring Rihanna. And while we’ve admired Emil Nava’s directorial skills – and simultaneously wondered if the amped-up hotline-bling-esque aesthetics of the video is more than just a cute coincidence between Rihanna and Drake – there’s one other surprising element. 

Her grey jumpsuit.

Unlike her music video for Needed Me featuring designers Rosamosario, C. Madeline and Christian Dior or Kiss It Better‘s visuals with Issey Miyake and Jacquie Aiche, Rihanna chose a lesser-known name. According to an interview in Complex, Isabel Hall is the name of the now buzzed-about designer and she is actually a Pratt Institute fashion graduate student. The soon-to-be-iconic jumpsuit was a part of her senior fashion collection.  Just one month since finishing college, Hall has been interning with designer Adam Selman, the man behind Rihanna’s ANTI tour. As each student’s final works were on display at the annual Pratt student show, Selman brought along longtime friend and stylist to the singer, Mel Ottenberg. Within weeks, the silver speckled number ended up on the US$290 million dollar woman. Not bad, Hall. Not #badgal at all.
