Rapper Tommy Cash swaps the stage for Paris catwalk
The outrageous post-Soviet rapper and
conceptual artist Tommy Cash — best known for his wacky hits “Leave Me
Alone”
and “Winaloto” — made his catwalk debut Thursday as a model in Rick Owens’
dramatically apocalyptic outdoor Paris show.
The Estonian, who has built up a huge following thanks to his videos
which
are often dubbed “the craziest on YouTube”, also supplied the music for the
spectacular show — an instrumental version of “Pussy Money Weed”.
The dystopian atmosphere of the song — the video of which features
disabled dancers — mirrored Owens’ avant-garde clothes which often have an
end of days feel.
