M.I.A's 'extended merch' on Karmaloop

M.I.A, having made a name for herself Stateside with massive hit Paper Planes announced earlier this year she was going to bow out of music and has now created a range of clothing which she refers to as 'extended merch'.

The designs are heavily influenced by African prints and early '90s rave culture and reference her album artwork, all in all it's a pretty successful venture. M.I.A's distinctive look owes a fair amount to Cassette Playa's Carrie Mudane, who has is also responsible for the Klaxons' look but there's no denying the Brit singer has put her own stamp on this collection. The designs are produced in conjunction with posterboy Okley Leslie and are available from Karmaloop.

Topshop 'Headless' tees

For lovers of anything cutesy and/or Disney, these 'Headless' tees are actually a lot more cheerful to look at than they sound. Choose from either Minnie Mouse or Olive Oyl (or both, if you think Santa will be particularly generous), and then sit back, relax and wait for them to be delivered to your Christmas tree or stocking. They're £16 each from Topshop. (I'll take the Olive Oyl one thanks Santa!)

Pixie Geldof collaborates with Katherine Hamnett to stop illegal trafficking

Pixie Geldof is lending her face to a new campaign to raise awareness of illegal human trafficking. The model has teamed up with Katherine Hamnett to draw attention to this worldwide problem by promoting a slogan t-shirt designed by Hamnett. "Every year 2.5 million people are trafficked globally, and many women my age and younger are forced into the sex trade. It's time we open our eyes to the situation. This is real and it has to stop!" Pixie said.

The t-shirt launches on the 14th October ahead of EU Anti-trafficking Day (18th October). Available for £20 a pop, these limited edition t-shirts will be available at London's Museum in The Docklands next Saturday, on behalf of Odanadi UK.
