Cortlandt Alley — hotspot in training?Photo: Patrick McMullan

What’s a Fashion Week party without a snafu? Guest performer Foxy Brown was dripping sweat thanks to a lack of AC at Alexander Wang’s party in the Cortlandt Alley space that Cain was going after (and smartly so — anyone who manages to snag a liquor license for this sexy-gritty basement will have the club of the season).

Foxy Brown Gets Alexander Wang to Booty-Shake at After-Party

We caught Foxy Brown after her performance at Alexander Wang after-party at Cortlandt Alley last night, her first show in NYC since being released from Rikers Island earlier this year. Decked out in a custom fuchsia Alexander Wang dress, Foxy treated the sweaty crowd to some of the best of Il Na Na, and Wang to some stage time. "The highlight was ****ing Alexander doing the ****ing booty shake what your mama gave ya! That was fly," Foxy told us. “So you're right at home at Fashion Week?” we asked the Park Slope native. "It feels so good," Foxy said. "Karl said to me, and also Marc … they all said to me that they never saw a little black girl that was so interested in couture and haute couture. I would be in our house, with the brush singing and [my mom's] fur coats. And her high-heeled slippers … my mom has an Hermès Birkin bag from back in the day that I rock now and is sicker than any bag ever. Fashion is totally embedded in me."

Seriously... and who needs AC at a party like that anyway... it's so much more fun to drip sweat!

^ but only if everyone else is.

Foxy Brown just does not seem like the type that an uber-hipster would get to perform....unless he's trying to pull a Marc like when he was bff with Li'l Kim.

i kind of get that feeling from this...don't you?!?!...
he's very much like marc imo( and tom ford)..

Marc still is bff with lil kim....yeah it's tired and cliched. the 'ooh look at me' juxtaposition of a rapper with "high" fashion, though I would hardly call Wang that. Foxy has been around at show's etc, for quite a while though. Interesting tidbit about her mum owning a Birkin....

At first I thought it was a bit odd as well, but then I realized, it's not like it couldn't happen. He likes her music, she likes his clothes, he asked her to perferm, she had nothing else going on, she says yes. Everyone wins....
