10 times DJs lent their talents to high fashion runway shows
The top dogs of high fashion and electronic music join forces
9. Kingdom for Opening Ceremony Spring/Summer 2016
Kingdom brought the big guns out for Opening Ceremony’s SS16 runway, opening with a thundering violin ballad that quickly jumps into a clamoring score of dramatic orchestra and bouncing R&B trap-style progressions. The UK producer included tracks from Helix, Kalela and Vjuan Allure for the eclectic piece that pushes and pulls its audience in sharp, energetic directions.
10. James Murphy for Ermenegildo Zegna Couture Spring/Summer 2015
LCD Soundsystem’s iconic lead James Murphy composed a special five-minute track for The Ermenegildo Zegna Couture SS15 fashion show. The runway showcase was produced into a special short film by Johan Soderberg with creative direction from Stefano Pilati, who enlisted Murphy for the exclusive arrangement. The electronic composer issued a piece perfectly complementary to the designer’s spectacle. Zegna tested the boundaries of structure and silhouettes while Murphy offers a titillating chord progression and saxophone, followed by flowing light jazz rhythms and echoing vocals.
