Five things you must listen to: Fashion edition

Sandwiched between FS2013 (from which some are only now just emerging from the champagne-fuelled haze) and the more-exclusive-than-the-selection-process-for-the-Papacy, DONT WALK this weekend, we’re going all Anna Wintour for one week […]


Sandwiched between FS2013 (from which some are only now just emerging from the champagne-fuelled haze) and the more-exclusive-than-the-selection-process-for-the-Papacy, DONT WALK this weekend, we’re going all Anna Wintour for one week only with a selection of wardrobe-inspired tunes.

1) Leopard-Skin Pill Box Hat Beck

The “Loser” maestro puts a grungy lick of paint over the Bob Dylan standard. 

2) Raspberry Beret Prince

Prince would be worthy of inclusion on a list of this kind for that suit from Purple Rain alone.

3) Freakum Dress Beyonce

Mrs Carter issues a call to arms for all her single ladies to whip out that one dyn-o-mite dress. Work it!

4) Red Dress TV on the Radio

5) Blue Suede Shoes Carl Perkins

Before the King made this one his own, bluesman Carl Perkins was the first to write and record this rock and roll master blaster, in effect inventing the rockabilly genre (and the soundtrack for Itchy Feet).

That’s your sonic fix for this week, folks. And for those of you who still have doubts about the supposed altruism of charity fashion shows, let this documentary clip put your gripes to rest:
