Singer and rapper M.I.A. has confirmed that she recently teamed up with fashion house Versace to design an exclusive line with the company's less expensive brand, Versus. 

A spokesperson for Versace has revealed that the collection will include "graphic prints with street energy" and a motif of "gold medallions [that] are reminiscent of the frenzy typical of the (market) stands."

Speaking to WWD, in an interview where she referred to herself in the third person, the 'Paper Planes' hitmaker explained the ideas behind the range of items (pictured below):

"The theme of counterfeits, of those that produce and sell them has always been part of the culture of M.I.A. 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."
