Here’s a little taste of what some of the hottest designers will be playing during their runway shows:
Erin Fetherston
-New Young Pony Club, “Ice Cream”
-The Rolling Stones, “She’s a Rainbow”
-Santogold, “Lights Out”
-She & Him, ” I Was Made For You”
“These are some of my favorite songs for the Spring 09 season — each one has a unique tone but they share a common theme of love and happiness.
Jay Godfrey
-Marianne Faithful, “Sister Morphine”
-Feist, “I Feel It All”
-Hot Chip, “Boy From School”
- Junior Boys, “In The Morning”
“The first one is an old rock classic, but we would remix it to speed it up and give it a modern edge. Then the last three are newer songs that are fun, youthful, and have a great beat—tunes that are sexy and modern that a woman would have on her playlist to host a fabulous cocktail party.”
Chris Benz
-JaConfetti, “Step Up”
-George Michael and Aretha Franklin, “I Knew You Were Waiting (For Me)”
-Róisín Murphy, “You Know Me Better”
-Anna Vissi, “Call Me”
-George Harrison, “Got My Mind Set On You”
Frank Tell
-“Like an Animal (Adam Crystal remix),” the Glove.
“I love the lyrics to this song: ‘One mile in the air that’s where she lives / Her body looks so thin and pink and small / Dropping eggs from nervous shaking hands / And swallowing her fingers as they fall / … Fight her all you want; you’ll never win … ‘”
-“Being Boiled,” the Human League.
-“Bela Lugosi’s Dead,” Bauhaus.
“I first discovered this song while watching The Hunger. Catherine Deneuve. I really don’t need to say any more.”
Rachel Comey
“Anything by Hercules and the Love Affair rocks my runway!”
Charlotte Ronson
-Chester French, “She Loves Everybody”
-The Virgins, “Murder”
-Coldplay, “Death and All His Friends”
“This season, my collection was inspired by The Virgin Suicides. Although Air created the music for the film, that choice would be too obvious for my collection. I want to use songs that are romantic with a more current, modern sound to them. These three songs emulate that to me.”
Alexander Wang
“All I can do is hint at what we’ll play during Fashion Week … Foxy Brown and Kelis.”
