The sound of Spring/Summer 2010
Posted by awais on December 20, 2009
There’s no doubt that choosing the right music for a fashion show is important. I once read an interview with a designer who said that it can be compared to selecting the right soundtrack to a movie. It not only sets the mood, it also helps the spectators understand the designer’s vision and inspiration. I’ve compiled a list with some of the tracks used by designers for the spring/summer 2010 shows. Listening to some of these songs makes me wonder – what do these songs tell us about the collections? The inspiration? The person who buys them? Or even the label or designer?
- New Order – Perfect Kiss (Dunhill, Paris Menswear Fashion Week)
- Phoenix – Lisztomania (Yigal Azrouël, New York Fashion Week)
- Deadmau5 – Ghosts n stuff (Versace, Milan Fashion Week)
- Lil’ Mama – Lip Gloss (Prada, Milan Fashion Week)
- The Beloved – Sweet Harmony (Jil Sander, Milan Menswear Fashion Week)
- Metronomy – Hearthbreaker (Diskjokke remix) (Balenciaga, Paris Fashion Week)
- Little Boots – Mathematics (DKNY, New York Fashion Week)
- Gossip – Dimestore Diamond (Max Azria and Nicole Miller, New York Fashion Week)
- The Kooks – Sofa Song (Burberry Prorsum, London Fashion Week)
- Peaches – Downtown (Simian Mobile Disco Remix) (Etro, Milan Fashion Week)
I’m not sure, but judging from the sounds of it, spring/summer 2010 doesn’t only look good, it sounds good too!
