Music and fashion are connected. They have to be because both are inherently about performing in front of an audience and music plays at runway shows, designers are inspired by music, musicians design collections, and wear outfits made for them. Since we're wearing or will soon be wearing items from the A/W 2010/2011 shows I thought it'd be interesting to see the music that was playing during those runway shows.
Stella McCartney's choice has lyrics, which was unusual. It also speaks for itself: "Give me another bottle, I need another bottle." This was interesting because it was not at all what I expected from seeing photos of the collection. Also seems a little out-of-sync with her eco-friendly hippie-ish image. But then again I love when people have eclectic tastes :)

Louis Vuitton by Marc Jacobs is a classical piece which meshes well with the longer skirts and the luxurious, classic look of the clothes.

Miu Miu's is a little haunting with very pronounced drums and a distinctly tribal feel. I found this choice surprising since other designers did play on the tribal trend whereas Miuccia did not.

So what will be the music that inspires you to wear your autumn best?
Thanks to We Heart It for the image.
You're so right, fashion and music are absolutely intertwined. This was an interesting post, as a lot of people focus in on the clothes at shows and don't give enough thought to the effect of the music behind it. My favorite (as far as music) was the LV one.. makes me think of sweet old b&w movies!
ReplyDeleteBy the way, I completely agree about Serena. Love her style but her character usually gets on my nerves. Glad I'm not alone in this! And working towards your degree in Prague sounds like a dream. I'd love to study abroad at some point! xo

I find that there is no one particular type of music that dictates my clothing choices - I'm very varied in my musical tastes, which reflects in my style. I do always love Stella McCartney's selections - though DVF has amazed me many times!! :)
