M.I.A. has landed a new modeling job with Hugo Boss.

The English rapper stars alongside Twilight actor Jamie Campbell Bower in the German fashion house’s fall/ winter 17 campaign.

Styled by Vanessa Reid and shot by Harley Weir at an old fairground in California, the campaign and collection were inspired by David Lynch’s Crazy Clown Time, Twin Peaks and Wild at Heart.

Musician Jamie Bochert, model and actor Tony Ward, social media stars Lisa and Lena, artist and model Wilson Oryema, model and designer Camilla Deterre, skater Olan Prenatt, and models Paul Hameline, Manami Kinoshita and Aida Blue also feature.

M.I.A., real name Mathangi Arulpragasam, teased one of the campaign images on her Instagram account on Sunday (16Jul17), sharing a picture of herself wearing a bold red and black striped suit, though didn’t caption the post, leaving fans unsure where the photo was from.

She added two more photos, a close-up of her face peeking through some leaves, and one where she’s standing in a tree wearing a velvet burgundy tracksuit.
