Alexander Wang premiered this new M.I.A, G-DRAGON track at his AW16 Show

Alexander Wang is making K-pop his thing. After already casting badass Korean rapper CL in his SS16 #WANGSQUAD last week, the designer then premiered the track “Temple” featuring Korean mega-star G-Dragon alongside M.I.A and American producer (and fellow #WANGSQUAD member) Baauer at his AW16 show in New York last night. With Baauer providing the stuttering backing track, M.I.A and G-Dragon alternately deliver the verses to provide one of the best K-pop crossovers out there.


G-Dragon has been a major feature of the fashion scene in recent seasons, though this is the first time his work has soundtrack-ed a show. The artist, who in addition to his solo exploits, fronts the majorly successful boy band BIGBANG, has been a front row fixture at Saint-Laurent, Lanvin, Rick Owens, Hood by Air and Chanel for some time as brands look to harness his major selling power. He now becomes Wang’s latest musical muse, joining the likes of A$AP Rocky, Grimes and Die Antwoord, all of whom have inspired the designer in the past.
