ALEXANDER WANG FEATURING DIE ANTWOORD

Two years after his debut, Alexander Wang launched a second label in 2009 called Diffusion Line T. It’s based on the “off-duty model” look that we’ve all come to know and love him for.

This year for his Spring collection, he collaborated with South African rap duo, Die Antwoord. I never would have thought. I imagine they would’ve been pretty surprised when they we’re asked to make a video for  a high-end, American Fashion Designer. I wonder how they met!??! I know that Diplo has worked with Die Antwoord a fair bit, and he is quite close with Alexander, being the face of his Spring 2011 collection.

I love that Harpers Bazaar and Vogue have been Tweeting about Die Antwoord when they have a song called “Rich Bitch” where Yolandi is dressed in a gold body suit, covered in faux gold jewellery and sitting on a toilet making fun of women who have an abundance of useless possessions.

These odd collaborations seem to work so well, and only make me admire Wang as a designer so much more.

SPRING 2012 Alexander Wang T Campaign Featuring Die Antwoord

Spring 2011 Alexander Wang T Campaign feautring Diplo and Ashley Smith-

Die Antwoord have also just realeased their new single, titiled “I fink u freeky” where you can see some of the pieces that are printed in the campaign photos. I am mostly posting this vide to remind you how strange and wonderful Die Antwoord are.

Alexander Wang has also worked with Alice Dellal a lot over the span of his career. She is one of my favourite models, so I love that they hang out.

I was just reminded of this shoot from Interview magazine in March 2010.

It was shot by Mikael Jansson and is titled “the Alexander Wang Gang” and feautres several amazzingnggg models:

Marcel Castenmiller, Constance Jablonski, Hanne Gaby Odiele, Erin Wasson, Alice Dellal, Christian Brylle, Natasa Vojnovic, Mirte Maas…

So cute!
