I know that I previously mentioned and
posted about the desire to mix both music and fashion and the fact that they
have been linked to each other since the beginning of time. The purpose of all
of the business ventures that I am working on is about finding ways to mix both
music and fashion. While performing research one of the sites listed a quote
which only confirmed what I felt about the two industries “Musical
accomplishment to collections is nothing new. In most instances, the perfect
song has the power to convey the aesthetic of a designer’s work in ways which presenting
the collection on its own cannot” (Segal, 2013). This quote only goes to show
that there is an importance for music in the fashion industry. Have you ever
been to a fashion show and not heard music playing of some type? Probably not
right? The music helps the models put on a sexy strut and helps to keep the
crowd entertained. There have even been events where there are various artist
performing.
One thing that one must keep in mind
when mixing fashion and music is not to let the music over power the
presentation of clothing. By this I mean add the music but make sure that the
clothing and the models are the main attraction not the music coming through
the speakers. “The shows of many major fashion houses now seem like concerts.
However, there is a danger in pushing the connection too far” (Segal, 2013). One
of the things that can be done to help strike a balance between the two
industries. Is having an artist appear on the catwalk I the designers clothing
as one of the models or having one of the models appear in the artist video
shoot. This will allow for the music and fashion to mix without overpowering
each other.
