Of Course M.I.A. is Already Wearing Riccardo Tisci’s First Burberry Collection

Riccardo Tisci may have only unveiled his Burberry debut days ago, but his celebrity admirers are already taking his looks onto the streets. Always one step ahead when it comes to her fashion choices, M.I.A. selected two key pieces from Tisci’s runway for the London premiere of her documentary, MATANGI / MAYA / M.I.A., this evening. In an oversized trench covered in fawn print layered over a matching blouse with patches bearing deer portraits, she brought the urbane sensibility of Tisci’s collection to one of the biggest events of her career.

The documentary provides an intimate look at her artistic trajectory, personal life, politics, and meteoric rise within the world of pop music. Though she could have revisited one of her many iconic fashion moments with tonight’s look, her choice of the new Burberry made perfect sense. Tisci’s vision for the brand merges past and present to add a new verve to English classics – the perfect choice for an artist who continuously pushes the boundaries.
