M.I.A x Versus Versace

I can't say it's a collaboration I saw coming, but after seeing the full M.I.A x Versus collection it makes perfect sense. I can definitely see M.I.A herself rocking all of the pieces in this collection whilst it still remains true to and is very reminiscent of the old 90's Versace prints / old skool urban aesthetic .
I probably won't be investing in any of the pieces ,but I do love the initial concept behind the collection; 'bootlegging the bootlegs'- kinda genius.




'Logo mania'  - a trend from the 00's that I both hated and loved to be honest-  clothing featuring recognizable symbols, cool statements and (excessive) branding; has come back in full force and was seen all over the catwalks from Alexander Wang's 'Parental Advisory' and laser etched minuscule brand named prints to Celine's 'Love' 'Life'  on the backs of sneakers.

Also, does anyone remember Morgan de toi? Another brand from that period which often had their label smeared on every inch of fabric- I've spent many hours searching for that label on ebay , (there was some serious gems alongside the general tack) and although I hate the idea of free advertising for labels by having their name or symbol brandished across my chest, I secretly love the uniformity of it all. It's kind of like being part of a very stylish cult. Lol.

I can definitely see this being one of the biggest 'trends' for next year.
