Nearly three weeks later, there are still songs that I heard at particular fashion shows that are still stuck in my head! Here’s a recap of some of the music heard during Fashion Week New York and London:

“Barbie Girl” by Aqua, at the Barbie Fashion Show

“Isis” by the Yeah Yeah Yeahs at Jill Stuart

“Love Letter to Japan” by The Bird and the Bee at Milly

“Welcome to the Jungle” by Guns N’ Roses at Alexander Wang

The 5 Browns’ live performance at Zac Posen

Lissy Trullie’s live performance at 3.1 Phillip Lim

“O…Saya” by A.R. Rahman and M.I.A. (Slumdog Millionaire) at Narciso Rodriguez

In general, I heard Lily Allen’s new album, “It’s not me, it’s you” plaing a lot!

“Heart of Glass” Blondie cover at Charlotte Ronson

“M79″ by Vampire Weekend at Peter Jensen

Prince songs at Twenty8Twelve

“Flashing Lights” by Kanye West at Danielle Scutt

FPD reports from Bryant Park, and the numerous other locations to bring you the best fashion week coverage imaginable. Please also check out InsidetheTents for other great fashion coverage from bloggers at fashion week.

Yigal Azrouel:

Super soft knits, futuristic batwing-sleeve dresses, and leather pailettes dresses and skirts made up a strong collection.

BCBG MaxAzria:

Slinky was the word du jour, with heavily draped layers of jersey and silk in mostly muted hues.

Abaete:

Loved the Abaete for paylesrs heels and ankle boots draped heavily with chains – the clothes too reflected the chained motif, along with wide ruffles, jaquard, and a bit of metallics.

Charlotte Ronson

Androgyny was defined anew, with men donning high-waisted pants with a corset-like aesthetic, see through pants, and (my favorite) a blazer that instead of buttons, had a zipper closure.

Charlotte Ronson:

Despite the Lindsay Lohan media circus, this was one of Charlotte’s strongest collections to date, with a heavy dose of leather and unusual detailing like elbow and back slits built into tops and jackets.

University of Art:

There’s no doubt that these students are incredibly talented, with carefully engineered prints on oversized sweaters and coats being the showstoppers.

Jason Wu:

It’s nice to see that Jason Wu catered to all women, and not just the first lady in his runway collection, with a great selection of wonderful dresses, complete with incredible prints.
