We told you in May that indie songstress MIA was launching her own clothing line. Now, we have the visual evidence.

Referencing African and Southwestern prints, Tribe Called Quest videos, and early 90s neon and spandex, these are not clothes for the faint of heart...or the broke.

T-shirts, emblazoned with MIA's face, run $75, leggings are $85, and hoodie sweatshirts run $180. So what can you get for 10 dolla? Looks like absolutely nothing.

Think of the dreamiest, sexiest, most fashionable pop star on the planet. Let me guess, you're not thinking of Rod Stewart.

Nevertheless, the husky-voiced 80s sex bomb who, for some reason, still manages to string together a career as a musician, is now the latest celebrity to launch his own fashion line. Great.

Overall, the line is nothing to write home about -- in fact, I'd say it's more like a line of merchandise than anything you'd call a designer label. However, if you're the sort of person that enjoys the irony of clothing that's so unbelievably ugly that it could be kinda cute, there's a few items, you'll definitely want to check out. It was a dirty job, but I've sifted through the entirety of Rod's collection (available at his online store), and picked the five most hideous (and therefore most awesome) pieces for you to enjoy. Check it:

The boys of the band Interpol have always been some of the most stylish men of the music industry. They always sport nice ties and sweet three-piece suits, looking as refined as their music sounds. The sharpest of the bunch has got to be bassist Carlos D, who has become known for his slick black hair and overall goth chic look. However, lately he's let his hair go more natural and has even sprouted a mustache. In a recent interview, Carlos talked about how he doesn't feel as motivated to dress up anymore. In a way, that's kind of admirable because he's still managed to look pretty nice. I must admit, though, I prefer his long hair and black suits to his funny mustache and bolo ties.

What do you think? Upgrade or downgrade? Goth suits or bola ties?
