Music is Fashion

Music and fashion are inseparable forces; they transcend cultural and physical boundaries to influence each other dialectically.  We’ve been charting fashion chains’ attempts to scoop up the musically attuned by collaborating with pop artists of all kinds.  Lily Allen for New Look, an H&M tribute to Kylie Minogue, Madonna, etc. are all very nice, but the real inspiration bubbles up from deeper scenes.

Some global tunes that have been making noise on the forefront:

Wale – Hip hop’s not dead, it’s hiding in DC.

Passions – Disco, Brooklyn style

Knightlife – Gritty, medieval beats from Melbourne, Australia

The Bees – Old is the new new; from the Isle of White, UK

Dragonette – Poppy electro clash harmonies from Toronto, Canada
