Rita Ora X Primark: from loyal customer to global partner and designer

Growing up in Ladbroke Grove in London, Rita would always find herself in the Hammersmith Primark store after school or on the weekends shopping the latest fashion and trends. Primark was where Rita first fell in love with fashion which has grown throughout her career, evolving into a mix of high street and designer, pre-loved and new.

Rita has always admired Primark’s brand promise of making fashion affordable for everyone and felt passionately about bringing her vision for a fashion range to life in our stores. To find out more of her involvement in her collection, this can be read in our behind the scenes web article.
