Missy Elliott continues to inspire, and get paid for it. Marc Jacobs revealed the entertainer as their new muse for their Fall 2016 line.

It seems like ever since she resurfaced during the 2015 Super Bowl halftime performance, Missy Elliot has been on a roll. Global designer Marc Jacobs posted an endearing Instagram message about her, accompanied by a photo of her and some of their latest threads.

Jacobs shared:

“From the moment I heard, ‘The Rain’ back in 1997, I was entranced by the genius rhythms and brilliant rhymes of Missy Elliott. Missy’s music has kept me and my design team happily energized through countless weekdays, weeknights and weekends during those long hours of sketching, fitting, styling and doing looks. In addition to the boundless energy of her music are the visually pulsating and wildly cartoon-like music videos she made in collaboration with the talented and visionary, Hype Williams. I am in continued awe of Missy’s ability to push the boundaries of the style of music both to the eye and to the ear. It was a dream of mine to work with her and I’m happy to share this portrait by David Sims for our Fall ’16 campaign.”

This is second time Elliott has popped up as a muse this week. She is being featured alongside 2Pac and J. Cole as the newest rappers in Sprite’s “Obey Your Verse” campaign. She is also being honored at Vh1’s Hip Hop Honors Awards in July.
