Imagine a fashion show for a famous designer. Of course there will be a huge cavernous tent where the who’s who of fashion will gather to witness the event. You’ll see celebrities filling the front row seats, flashbulbs popping furiously from the gallery of photographers at the end of the runway. The excitement will be palpable, and the audience will enjoy watching the models strut confidently down the runway.
Now imagine if all of this was taking place in utter silence. Sure there will be chatter and conversation amongst the fashionista onlookers. The hair stylists and make-up artists will furiously scramble to put finishing touches on the various looks. But picture the actual fashion show taking place without any music. No pulsing beats matching the models’ steps, no rhythms for the models to absorb as they sashay out in front of the crowd. What is a fashion show, or what is fashion for that matter, without music.
Fashion and music are inextricably linked. Both industries possess glitz, glamour, and excitement. Not to mention the endless crossover between the two areas. From hip-hop impresario Diddy’s Sean John clothing line, rapper Nelly’s Apple Bottoms label, and Avril Lavigne’s Abbey Dawn lifestyle brand, fashion and music are branches on the same family tree of entertainment, and understanding music can boost your career as a fashion public relations professional. Music is youthful and fun, two major attributes that fashion always works to represent to consumers.
