MIA finally came out with a line. Finally. After years of influencing the masses that bootleg is okay and matchy-matchy outfits are not, the UK rapstress has made the big leap into retailing her own line, called Okely Run, sold exclusively on her website. A lot of it looks like stuff she's worn on stage, some of it has her face on it. Besides the usual start-up collection of tee shirt and hoodies, the MIA line also has one-piece jumpers, jackets and leggings, all in the expected epilepsy-inducing neon colors and busy dizzy prints which come in names like Mexico and Afrika.

Oh but, if only dear old Maya had an insider at American Apparel, she would have known to release it before they came out with their own "Afrika" collection, which eerily enough features a similar design pattern for their leggings, and includes a strapless mini-dress, bandeau bra top and headband. AA's version only comes in two-tones (black and red or black and white) but then again it's only $34 bucks compared to MIA's $85. If you can't shell out the bucks but still wanna support your leading Sri Lankan lady, buy the kiddie tees in the Tour Merch section of her website, retailed at $40.
