It has finally happened and all the rumors have been confirmed; M.I.A. has teamed up with Versace to create 19 pieces for both men and women in their Versus line.
The line is inspired by counterfeit Versace products seen all over London and as stated in WWD, MIA says "The theme of counterfeits, of those that produce and sell them has always been part of the culture of M.I.A."
"The collection represents all that I love of the new Versus Versace: it's fast, it's noisy, it's brazen and it blends the world of music with that of fashion." says designer Donatella Versace. And that's exactly what the line is! Big and noisy patterns; bizarre designs that work!
Versus is one of the more "affordable" (not a student budget) brand of Versace clothing.
M.I.A.'s urban music, street style and bootlegged inspired line will include T-shirts, printed jeans, military inspired clothing and many other things! Catch her line in stores on October the 16th. We are definitely looking forward to see her work in the form of clothing.
