Just in case you were wondering how Die Antwoord is doing Stateside - all is swell, thank you very much.

The local rap-rave group was at Alexander Wang's New York Fashion Week show, this past weekend, where they shared the front row with other stars including Rihanna, R&B crooner Miguel, rappers Tyga, and Nicki Minaj.

Indeed the pair of Yo-Landi and Ninja could be seen on Miguel's post on Instagram yesterday.

Ninja also posted a picture from the front row, with Rihanna and Nicki Minaj looking on, supposedly at the action on the ramp, and the incomprehensible caption, "Ooooh nikki u gonna giddit grrrll... Gitreddyyyy... #donotfukwifdakid6 [sic]". 

They are no stranger to the top designer- just over two years ago they fronted Wang's basics line, T, which is reportedly sold at family-friendly retailers including Saks Fifth Avenue.

At the time Wang was quoted as saying: "Where music leads, I follow".

"Die Antwoord is a different thing than what we might say is 'fashion', but fashion is still what they wear and how they portray themselves, visually. That's what I love so much."

Wang used them for the spring campaign for T, after coming across their Zef Side music video online - their "fearless" attitude and "disregard for what's accepted" attracted him to them, it was reported then.

Meanwhile, the trio's star-studded music video for the latest single, Ugly Boy - off the latest album Donker Mag, has still not been released. Going by still images shared over a month ago, models Cara Delevigne and Bianca Brombin, actor Jack Black, and Marilyn Manson will all feature in it.
