If you’re out and about in New York City, you may already have spotted Alexander Wang’s new T campaign stars. Guerrilla-style posters featuring rockers Santigold and Spankrock have already begun papering the city. The duo follows Ashley Smith and Diplo as the new faces of T for Fall ‘11, shot by Dan Jackson and styled by Alastair McKimm. They also appear in Wang’s new campaign video, a remix of Santigold’s single “Go” by Switch, Diplo’s partner in Major Lazer, debuting exclusively below.

Why Santi and Spank? “Their endless talent, incomparable energy, and most of all, down-to-earth personality make them the perfect representation for T,” Wang told Style.com. All of those qualities are on display in the behind-the-scenes video the label created surrounding the campaign, which arrives today at AlexanderWang.com. That’s not all that you’ll find on the site. The Fall ‘11 T collection hits the designer’s e-commerce boutique today as well.

 

For Resort 2012, Alexander Wang was inspired by “the idea of speed and things that felt fast, like competitive swimming and cycling.” The athletic references are easy to spot; the collection features shiny, over-sized windbreakers, mesh racing-style vests, and a plethora of primary colors. In keeping with the sporty theme, Resort 2012 also marks the debut of swimwear and sneakers for Wang. The new pieces are exactly what one would expect from Wang: streamlined with sexy details. The swimsuits are tank-style with cut-outs, while the sneakers — available in three colors — feature patches of textured skins, gleaming nylon and a vaguely ’70s silhouette. LOVE IT ALL….
