On Thursdays, we dig up a favorite piece from the archives and bring it back to life. Today, we're highlighting an interview between A$AP Rocky and Alexander Wang that appeared in Interview Magazine last year. If you haven't read it, consider this a blessing.
Let's be clear: A$AP Rocky was one of Alexander Wang's earliest fans, especially in the realm of hip-hop. He not only wore the young designer's pieces, but also rapped about him in his songs and, later, sat front row at Wang's fashion shows.
Wang, in turn, quickly grew fond of Rocky—he even casted the rapper to appear in his hilarious T by Alexander Wang spring/summer 2013 campaign alongside MADtv's Bon Qui Qui. It only made sense then that Interview Magazine put the two together for a candid sit-down. The two talked about their respect for one another's work and talent, A$AP Rocky's tour with Rihanna, and Wang's new position at Balenciaga.
