AZEALIA BANKS

For his T campaigns, Alexander Wang tends to forgo the models for musicians. First there was Santigold and Spank Rock, then Die Antwoord, and now, for Autumn, the rap-and-pop darling of the moment, Azealia Banks. It’s not the first time the two have linked up. Banks was Wang’s date for the 2012 Met Gala, as well as providing the music for his Spring 2012 AW campaign with Liya Kibede. Why the move in front of the camera? “She exudes a certain rawness that makes her a very unique talent,” Wang says. “I loved working with her on this video for T Fall 2012, and think the collaboration captures a collision of energies.” Daniel Jackson directed the spot, which features Banks rapping “Van Vogue” from her recent EP 1991, with styling by Alastair McKimm. The video debuts exclusively here on Style.com.

BEASTS OF THE SOUTHERN WILD

The first film from Benh Zeitlin, it’s adapted from a stage play by Lucy Alibar called ‘Juicy and Delicious’. But this must be one of the least stagy adaptations ever made. Beasts of the Southern Wild is a soaring, poetic, magic realist film, a fairytale of a sort, set in ‘the bathtub’, a ravaged, swampy basin outside the flood barrier that was meant to protect New Orleans.

It’s not much but it’s home to six-year-old Hushpuppy (Quvenzhane Wallis) and her ailing father, Wink (Dwight Henry), and a scattered group of hold-outs, too poor and proud to allow themselves to be relocated to what they call ‘the dry world’.
Hushpuppy lives in ramshackle hut a few hundred feet from her closest neighbour, her father. He knows his days are numbered and means to see that his girl is prepared to fend for herself. He may be overestimating her though: in one early scene she accidentally sets fire to the place.  

The film chronicles their survival struggles in the wake of a great flood – it’s impossible not to think of the devastating Hurricane Katrina though it’s never named.     http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ZF7i2n5NXLo WATCH THE TRAILER HERE
