Music and fashion have always seemed to go hand in hand; one inspiring the other, one amplified by the other, one blatantly stealing from the other, etc. As rock and roll became a lifestyle and MTV invaded the airwaves, the line between music and fashion began to all but disappear. That is in large part thanks to these 10 performances, albums, songs, music videos — moments in pop history — that forever defined and redefined the relationship between music and fashion.

It seems like you can’t turn on the radio, or more realistically open up your Pandora, without hearing some serious name-dropping in your favorite tunes. But label-whoring in lyrics goes way back in the day before Kanye West was the Louis Vuitton Don and Gwen Stefani‘s Harajuku-mania.

- TIME Magazine decided to place a mom breastfeeding her three-year-old son on its cover to illustrate its story on “attachment parenting.” Meanwhile, showing Kris Jenner and her Kardashian klan would’ve had the same (nauseating) effect. [Huff Po]

Kanye West was just rollin’ through the nabes and decided something needed to be said about the proliferation of khaki cargo shorts and “big ass striped scarves.” Taking to his favored medium for unprovoked rantings and ravings – the Twitter — the fashion maven and occasional rapper provided a roundup of all the uninspired style offending his delicate nature. Presumably he was being driven since tweeting while driving is sending a bad message to the kids when all Kanye wants to do is teach. Teach ‘em how to get on their “snob.”

Kanye West has teamed up with Webby Award winning SHOWstudio and acclaimed fashion filmmaker Ruth Hogben for his new music video, “Lost in the World.” Described as breaking “the mould of popular rap aesthetics,” the clip stars West — his face partially or entirely obscured for the duration — and six dancers matching the song’s intensity step for step and writhe for writhe. Featuring Justin Vernon of Bon Iver, “Lost in the World” is Yeezy’s fifth single from the Grammy-winning My Beautiful Dark Twisted Fantasy. Hogben’s film for Gareth Pugh‘s spring 2012 collection was recently nominated in the fashion category at the Design of the Year Awards. All those accolades add up to a brilliant piece that not only “breaks the mould” of the traditional rap video but dances on its shattered remains. Check it out after the jump.
