KEY POINTS:
There seems to be a daily announcement about a new celebrity launching his or her own clothing line, but we're actually eager to see this one: rapper and Marc Jacobs model M.I.A. has told Women's Wear Daily that she now has a clothing line. The artist is known for her bold and bright stage outfits, so expect bomber jackets, leggings and T-shirts in neon hues and graphic prints.
Pasifika's next top model?
