The music at fashion week shows not only sets the tone for the collection, but almost equally as important is that it can get the sleep-deprived editors/buyers/stylists tapping their stiletto-ed heels to the beat, creating a fond, memorable experience for a show that otherwise can blur in with the other 60+ collections seen in a week! We’ve pulled together some of our favorite songs, artists, and live pefromances during the S/S 2009 collections:
- Cowboy Junkies (Live Performance)– Ports 1961
- Seu George (Live Performance) — Carlos Miele
- Edith Piaf — Louis Vuitton
- Madonna (Borderline) — Balmain
- Hooverphonic — Rock & Republc

John Galliano’s collection this season consisted mainly of tight bodice tops, and tiered and frilly skirts. The charmingly eccentric designer paid homage to the style of the 1980’s with crimped hair, leggings, and sheer skirts revealing leotards underneath. However, it was the arrival of orange, yellow, lime-green, and hot pink frocks that immediately cued the ‘Electric Slide’ to start playing in our heads, and lit up the runway almost as bright as the City of Lights itself! We were enthralled by a black gown that looked like it was made for Madonna, early in her career. The sheer-skirted dress was also embellished with a burst of sparkles to add a little extra oomph to the evening.
