SS13: Our Top 10 Songs from the Catwalk

Posted by Kasia Hastings, Fashion Intern at Large

As fashion month comes to a close it seems that music has never been such an important part of shows. Designers are now keen to make the soundtrack to their collections as hot as the clothes themselves and the fash crowd are as quick to switch on their Shazams and snap up the day's hot show tune as they are to capture its must-have accessory. Designers such as Christopher Kane collaborated with the crème de la crème of the music world this season. Beth Ditto’s live performance at Versus turned the presentation into more of a rock show than fashion and music had similar influence at the Jean Paul Gaultier show which paid tribute to 80's music greats such as David Bowie and Madonna. Bowie also played a part in Raf Simons debut Dior show. Simons used a Schubert piece from The Hunger, Bowie's 1983 vampire film to assert his individual identity at the fashion power house.
