M.I.A. collaborates with Versus Versace 

 

Versace has announced a collaboration with music artist M.I.A. to design a capsule collection. M.I.A.’s capsule collection for Versus Versace offers a 19-piece collection featuring kaleidoscopic prints inspired by the bootleg Versace merchandise she found in London markets as a teenager. Versions of famous Versace emblems, from the Versace logo to the interlocking Greek key, are blown up and clashed together in graphic prints. M.I.A.’s collaboration with Versus Versace includes pieces for both men and women, from T-shirts and printed jeans to silk shirts, jersey dresses and military-inspired outerwear. The capsule collection is the latest collaboration for the new Versus Versace, a concept offering capsule collections available online immediately, which are seasonless. The launch will be accompanied by images of M.I.A. and friends wearing the collection on East London markets, shot by Mexican photographer Jaime Martinez. M.I.A. x Versus Versace will be available online, and in selected stores, on October 16.
