10 times DJs lent their talents to high fashion runway shows
The top dogs of high fashion and electronic music join forces
7. Jamie XX for Kenzo Fall/Winter 2013
Experimental electronic producer Jamie XX specially composed a mix for Kenzo’s FW13 runway showcase. The instrumental production was just 10 minutes, but offered a composition emotionally driving and powerful. Jamie brought on elements of jazz and groove, tribal, soul and house for the Florence fashion show.
8. Thom Yorke for Rag & Bone Fall/Winter 2013
Radiohead’s Thom Yorke debuted his eight-minute production ‘Villain’ on Rag & Bone's AW13 runway during New York Fashion Week. The composition was performed live during the showcase with 12 members of the Brooklyn Youth Chorus. Yorke introduces the piece with a dark, blissfully dissonant piano solo before welcoming the haunting chimes of live singers. 'Villain' is an ethereal, slowly expanding melody that quickly morphs from spine-chilling waves to rattling metallic chords.
