Rihanna debuted her line for UK retailer, River Island during London Fashion Week on Saturday night and the show was on Livestream for everyone to see. The presentation opened to mixed reviews, even though both fans and fashion lovers have been eagerly waiting to see the collection since the collaboration was announced last July. Critics in the fashion world are usually skeptical of celebrity fashion lines (see Kanye West), and the show starting almost an hour after planned certainly didn't help.

Complex is an expert when it comes to men's style, but we're pretty certain we'd completely screw up trying to critique a women's fashion collection. So we rounded up a bunch of reviews from the show, which ranged from being on board with RiRi to absolutely slamming the collection. Click through to see what the critics had to say, and if you agree with those who loved it or if you're siding with the haters.
