Minimalist yet completely energized, the T by Alexander Wang Fall 2011 ad campaign is exactly what we would expect from this fashion house and designer. Its stark and bold aesthetic is also what you would expect from the new faces of the brand, musicians Santigold and Spank Rock. Following the similarly black-and-white motif seen in the ads with model Ashley Smith, actress Zoe Kravitz and producer Diplo, the campaign with these two definitely fits the Alexander Wang mold.
The designer himself thinks so as well, telling Style.com that they have "endless talent, incomparable energy, and most of all, down-to-earth personality make them the perfect representation for T." Accompanying the T by Alexander Wang Fall 2011 print ad campaign is also a video that shows Santi and Spank getting down.
