"The theme of counterfeits, of those that produce and sell them has always been part of the culture of M.I.A.," said the Grammy Award winner. " When I was contacted by Versace, it seemed a great idea to invert the circle. Versace's designs have always been copied, now it's Versace that copies the copies, so those that copy must copy the copies. So this will continue."
M.I.A. x Versus Versace will be available online and in a select stores beginning Oct. 16. The collection debut will be accompanied by a GIF digital campaign starring M.I.A.
