The Rihanna navy's got a stylish new recruit.

After bringing you the news that the international superstar would be joining the Sky Living family, we can now reveal that she's bringing with her another big name in fashion.

Designer Henry Holland has been picked to head up the show alongside Girls Aloud star Nicola Roberts, to find the next generation of raw, undiscovered designer talent.

Henry HollandHenry Holland is bringing his fashion expertise to Sky LivingAnd he's chuffed to be flanked by such beauties.

Describing Rihanna as "the coolest woman in the world", Henry says he's a superfan of the 'We Found Love' singer.

He added: "I'm really excited about this new show. I think it's a great concept and a brilliant opportunity and platform for designers and stylists. A chance to work with Rihanna and some great mentors across the music and fashion industries is definitely something I wish I had been lucky enough to be able to do when I was starting out.
 
"It's a tough industry to crack so it's going to take more hard work than they can even imagine as well as masses of creative flair and a genuine love of fashion. Working with Nicola and Rihanna is just the icing on the cake and should make things a lot more fun!"

And it seems Rihanna's a fan of his work, too - wearing House of Holland for her album cover shot and her performance at the Capital Radio Summer Ball last year.

But what does he make of working with Liverpudlian lass Ms Roberts?

You can't even call it work, really, as the pair have been pals since Nicola sat front row at his very first collection. We even caught up with her at Henry's last show at London Fashion Week in September.

One thing's for sure - they'll make a formidable pairing to find the next big fashion talent.

And we thought the prize of designing a dress for Rihanna's Wireless performance in July was enough to squeeze our knees together and clap furiously.

The series will come exclusively to Sky Living HD in summer 2012.
