A larger-than-life, inflatable Ice Spice was seen rolling by on a flatbed truck down the streets of New York City on Saturday (April 6). The unexpected sight was promoting the rapper’s new collaboration with Alexander Wang.
Fans were quick to capture and upload videos and snapshots of the jumbo version of Ice Spice advertising a look replicated from the photo shoot for her “Nocturna” collection with the designer.
Those clips caught Ice Spice’s eye. She shared them with her followers and reacted with a few emojis: heart eyes, the Statue of Liberty and lips.
Ice Spice is the face of Alexander Wang’s spring ’24 collection (“Nocturna”) which debuted Thursday (March 7). The collection is described as working in both the designer and rapper’s New York roots, taking inspiration from the culture of the city and their personal style. Looks range from denim dresses to to chic tailored pants, with prices for the Ice Spice x Alexander Wang collection ranging from $150 to $1,495.
“As an artist, I’m always challenging myself on how I can contribute to culture in a way that drives things forward, and Alexander Wang is a great vehicle for that, with this incredibly bold and global campaign,” Ice Spice said in an official press statement.
Alexander Wang called Ice Spice the perfect artist to embody the “strong alpha wang woman.”
On the music side, Ice Spice recently shared that she’s done recording her debut full-length album, Y2K.
“I finished recording y2k the album ^.^,” she wrote to her X and Instagram accounts on March 5. The set’s title is inspired by her birthdate, Jan. 1, 2000.
“I think this is some of my best work,” she told Billboard, adding, “It’s not going to be too long — it’s going to be sweet and to the point.”
