From The Straits Times    |

Her track “212” was the unofficial soundtrack to last season’s fashion week shows, and hip-hop star Azealia Banks’ domination of the fashion world is showing no sign of slowing down as she’s now the face of Alexander Wang’s T line.

The rapper is the latest in a string of musicians to front a campaign for the designer’s diffusion line, following in the footsteps of Santigold, Spank Rock and Die Antwoord.

This isn’t the first time Wang and Banks have teamed up either — the star was Wang’s date for the 2012 Met Gala, and she provided music for his Spring 2012 ready-to-wear campaign with Liya Kibede.

Daniel Jackson directed Banks in the T Fall 2012 video, where she raps “Van Vogue” from her recent EP “1991”.

“She exudes a certain rawness that makes her a very unique talent,” Wang told style.com.

“I loved working with her on this video for T Fall 2012, and think the collaboration captures a collision of energies.”

Other designers to have fallen for the charms of Banks include Karl Lagerfeld, who asked the musician to perform in his home during a dinner celebrating the launch of his Net-a-Porter clothing line earlier this year.

T by Alexander Wang is located at Club 21 Men, #01-09/10/11, Four Seasons Hotel Singapore.
