What is this?
The hardcore ruffians, shilling for a swanktastic NY designer of overpriced tee-shirts?
Yes, indeed.
This, from ELLE, ” “He’s like a wispy little punk,” says Ninja, recalling a debauched night on the town with Wang in December. (“We were like, Whoa, this is VIP shit!”) In fact, the duo was so taken with the experience that they name-checked Wang twice on their second album, Ten$ion, released in February. “We had to make a song right after [that night] because we wanted to quickly give him a shout-out,” says Ninja, who raps in “Hey Sexy”: “I know how to get da dough, I know how to spend da dough/ Rockin’ Alexander Wang from head to toe.” Adds Yo-Landi, several verses later: “I like partying, partying, partying, damn! Ask my man Alexander Wang.”
Wow.
That’s some bang for his buck.
A not unpleasing return on casting the twosome in his last campaign, I’m sure:
Showing a discerning and somewhat off-brand appreciation for the haute, Ninja/Wadi says: “”His T-shirts have turned me into a wimp,”
Yolandi says: “The fuckin’ material he uses! … They look super ordinary, but they’re subtly flattering. You can’t wear another T-shirt after it; his feel so expensive.”
They’ve come a long way from the queue at Pick n Pay in The Gardens Shopping Center, haven’t they?

Also, remember how they dropped their agency cos they were forcing them to be mainstream. How they turned down touring with Gaga cos she is a pop selllout? But write a song about clothing, thats real art.
