Production is half of the runway- it doesn't matter how fantastic the clothes are, if the production is shit then so is everybody's reaction. That's where the music comes in- the common misconception is that sending the girl marching down to some nondescript techno music is probably the best idea. WRONG.
It goes without saying that the music played during runway shows is as much of a statement about the music itself- it goes in and out fashion just like clothes do, it exists on the same volatile rubric of whim, caprice, and taste.
This past week in New York it was interesting to hear artists I began listening to last spring suddenly feature in many designer's shows- like when you're walking down the street blasting your iPod embarassingly loud and keeping your step in rhythm, fantasizing about your own first runway showing, but then suddenly you're sitting at Custo Barcelona hearing that same song. It's crazy! Part of you wants to claim "well, shit that was my idea and now I'm screwed", but your better judgement takes over and you're just happy to be sitting there, watching the models strut down the runway to this fabulous jam.
