New York’s up and comer Azelia Banks seems to have struck a chord with the Fashion community. Last week, Azealia provided a new song called “Bambi” for Mugler’s menswear runway show and announced that Mugler’s creative director and Lady Gags collaborator, Nicola Formichetti was directing her video for “Liquorice.” And just last night, Azealia was invited to perform at a party hosted by iconic fashion designer Karl Lagerfeld. You can even see him attempt to capture the performance on his iPad 2. Awesome.
