Rihanna‘s inclusive intentions for her Fenty products have been clear from the start, but her New York Fashion Week show for her lingerie line, SavagexFenty, took expectations to the next level. No, this wasn’t just a fashion show, it was a fashion experience, complete with an entire fictional landscape and choreography.

Through Rihanna’s “Garden of Eden,” two models, including Slick Woods, wore the Savage collection while pregnant, showing the lingerie line’s inclusivity of women at any stage of life.
