M.I.A's Clothing line is now on sale and featured in NYLON



M.I.A. has released her clothing line through her website. She has a page that sells her concert merchandise (about $30-$40 per shirt) and another page which sells her limited edition clothing line (ranges $65-$210). Her clothes are a bit pricey but freaking Lauren Conrad sells Forever 21/Mandee/Joyce Leslie type dresses for $200 and up so yea.

M.I.A.'s clothes were also featured in October's NYLON. Fave quote: "I don't want to be J-Lo or P. Diddy. I want to keep it underground"





NYLON scan under the cut

I wish the model was ethnic.


That's all.


I want the Mexico Jacket and Watermelon Hoodie but they're like $200 so no.

If you spend money on that shit, you try too hard.

Ugh. I kind of wanted to burn my issue of Nylon because not only does it feature Cory Kennedy in like 3 different places, they gave her sister a photo and full page.

But it has Zooey on the cover and some cute things inside, so I didn't.

Umm yes. It has a touch of the Fresh Prince intro.
[info]sonorific 16th-Sep-2008 06:46 am (UTC)
no one is going to be able to wear that stuff IRL.
[info]christineeeee 16th-Sep-2008 10:42 am (UTC)

WHICH I LOVE lol

Ethnic models? Guffaw!

I hope MIA doesn't ride on the popularity of 'Paper Planes' and sticks to what she was doing before planning to retire.

PPs is her only (mainstream)radio-friendly song and I just don't want people to be like 'That girl who sang that Pineapple Express song is a one-hit wonder'
[info]heycunthead 16th-Sep-2008 07:02 am (UTC)
i hope it won't be like that but i think it will be. :( maybe there'll be a song on her next album with the same potential?
[info]whatismyname7 16th-Sep-2008 07:19 am (UTC)
what's wrong with ethnic models?! That girl from NYLON looks too Ralph Lauren or Gucci to me. The only white girls that I can see modeling M.I.A.'s clothes are Agyness Deyn or Freja Beha. Homegirl from NYLON just isn't fierce enough. I would have loved a girl like Naima from ANTM to have been photographed in that outfit.
[info]rafz20 16th-Sep-2008 07:49 am (UTC)
I was being sarcastic- obvs. nothing wrong with ethnic models...quite the opposite

It just bugs me that the editors probably thought ethnic-themed wear would look...well, ethnic on an ethnic girl...and thus wouldn't have the same hipster appeal...which is ridic. because it negates the whole point of having clothes borrow African and Peruvian influences
[info]pleasdtomeetme 16th-Sep-2008 09:33 am (UTC)
I think some other white girls could work it. I just think they should have picked a more stunning model.
Her hair, make-up, and basically her modeling just suck.
[info]shanny_w 16th-Sep-2008 06:48 am (UTC)
rofl who ever wears that is going to be a target.
[info]lovedforaday 16th-Sep-2008 06:48 am (UTC)
No way ordinary people are going to wear this shit in their plain old, boring every day lives.
[info]skankbone 16th-Sep-2008 06:49 am (UTC)
this shit is ugly. & nylon is so played out.
[info]bijoux 16th-Sep-2008 06:52 am (UTC)
The only person who can wear that kind of clothes is M.I.A, and even on her I find it questionable.
[info]tucker 16th-Sep-2008 06:53 am (UTC)
I keep buying Nylon hoping I will love it as much as everyone else, but I still don't.
[info]tucker 16th-Sep-2008 06:53 am (UTC)
P.S Those clothes are mad ugly and look like the kind of shit Lil mama would wear.
[info]fifties 16th-Sep-2008 07:46 am (UTC)
then why keep buying it?
[info]tucker 16th-Sep-2008 06:03 pm (UTC)
I like it, I just don't love it, and I know people who are obbsessed with that magazine and since I love other magazines like that I just keep hoping I will start to love it, but yeah. Plus I mean it's only like four dollars so...
[info]so_os 16th-Sep-2008 09:02 am (UTC)
Stop buying it, bb. It's obviously not your type of mag if you have to put effort into liking it. There's one out there for you. Everyone is ~different~ :)
[info]beachtrees 16th-Sep-2008 05:51 pm (UTC)
The secret is to don't spend money on it but sign up to get a years worth of subscriptions for free. I can't exactly remember when they do it but I think around December you go on Urban Outfitters and sign up for a years worth of free subscription. That's what I did since I want Nylon but not enough to actually pay for it. Hopefully they do it again this year :)
[info]coffeenmorphine 16th-Sep-2008 10:46 pm (UTC)
Stop trying to make Nylon happen. It fails me all the time. I'm trying i-D now.
