About Fashion Soundtracking
Hello world ! Let’s share an addiction of music and fashion. We can’t deny that the two go hand in hand. Come here to see all the latest fashion/music collaborations chosen by international brands. Take a listen to some of the music that you already love or should hear about β¦..
Follow us on twitter @fashsoundtrack for all things musical!
In 1985, Jeanne Beker made a big impression when FashionTelevision in Toronto’s CityTV started playing pop/rock music for the cat walk. This may have been going on before that, but to my consciousness, it was all new and quite different from a milder form of music I seem to remember as part of fashion shows. I would be interested in knowing how things are changing.
Thank you for your fantastic response. The relationship between music and fashion has been prevalent since the early 20th century. Mary E. Davis wrote a book called “classic chic” which discusses early forms of neoclassicism, where the upper classes became accustomed to the jazz cult. Today, the digital age means any genre can be heard at fashion shows. Most designers choose popular tracks from up-coming stars and currently there is an indie/pop trend. As for catwalk music, I cannot be sure when it first began. There is not enough information to state a specific date. I personally would say the 60’s rock and roll revolution gave fashion a new direction. One of the first fashion/ music collaborations can be seen from The Beatles song ‘Revolution’ where it was used for a Nike sports campaign http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ztSYJNO4kac P.s I enjoyed the Gowan track, it would make a great Catwalk soundtrack.
I remember now, the song “Obsession” by Animotion was the music that made fashion shows seem so different to me.
what a cool idea for a blog!!
This is such a great blog idea! π
I am totally agreeing on that one, I have recently started to blog about house music, it has gone so far. And to be frank, what my first question is when I meet people, what are you listening on, because talking about fashion is a very drag, and talking about music is so much more fascinating! Keep the GOOD work on!
Glad you can appreciate that fashion needs music to make it more appealing !!!
I suppose the only caveat about music linked with fashion might be – music itself is becoming more of a subjective thing… so many genres and choices; demands on attention span with social media tugging people in a multiplicity of directions, etc. Years ago fashion was linked with “jazz”; try to find this word in drop-down lists today… Times are changing at an increasing rate; what’s IN is becoming more fleeting.. Music could be a detractor.
I know times is changing, and that is good. I have been fortunately been in a environment there they are consistent on having a close connection to the roots, the roots of Hip hop. I am a dancer as well just to mention that, besides of being a fashion and house music blogger. But to what this blog is all about fashionsoundtrack, it is all about the link between fashion and music, if there would be no music there would have not been clothes, because the designers are listening to some heavy music from collection to collection… I know since I know designers :)!
I see your point. Music inspires the fashion.
great blog! brilliant idea and really well executed – pleasure to read/watch/listen to and will definitely be popping in often!

The great thing about wordpress is seeing reading things I normally wouldn’t search for, but by you liking a pic of mine, I wanted to reciprocate and visited this site, and when here, found your concept for a blog very interesting. I’m fashion challenged, t-shirt and jeans guy, pickup truck, guitar , but music and fashion for me, well, I’ll certainly follow you and hopefully educate myself in the process. I’m all over the place musically, listen to everything from Aerosmith to Motzart, Miles Davis, Muddys Waters, Tupac, if its music, I’m in! Thanks for your time. Tony
I like all of what you said, Tony.
Keep on rockin’.

I love the concept of your blog! Very cool. But no 2011 Lanvin Campaign movie? I can’t hear Pitbull now without thinking of their creepy dancing π
Thanks for stopping by my blog!
You’re right! I was trying to keep up to date with the video’s so was focusing more on 2012. But I do find this video hilarious! The new Lanvin campaign is quite cool. That is on the blog! Sometimes I get side tracked and put vintage ads up to. Might blog about it later ! Thanks for your words, I’m a fan of your blog too! Try out these moves on a night out, I’m sure they will go down a treat!

Music is mood, fashion is eye candy and mental stimuli, it is a delicious combination.
