Versus Versace is everything and more! The print-heavy collection launched October 16th and is designed by Sri-Lankan British rapper M.I.A. This bold collection showcases just why she is a staple in the fashion world. With an emphasis on bold color and prints, the 38-year-old singer says she was inspired by bootleg Versace prints she found in street markets as a kid growing up in East London.
"It's always been part of the M.I.A. culture -- to talk about bootlegs, and people that sell them or make them," said the singer. "When I was approached by Versace, it seemed like a good idea to take that and reverse the cycle. Versace designs have always been bootlegged, now it's Versace bootlegging the bootleg for the bootleggers to bootleg the bootleg. This is to keep that cycle going."
The "Paper Planes" singer created the 19-piece collection which mixes men's and women's styles including t-shirts, dresses, printed jeans and outerwear. It's an cheaper alternative to the traditional designs of the fashion house.
This is the second "Versus" collection after the Italian label decided to create a revolving door of creativity.
