the Bowie to my Iman? how about the Yoko Ono to my Proenza Schouler?
W Mag’s July article “behind the muses” answers the question with an emphatic “yes!” detailing 8 fashion brands, their respective 10 designers and their musical muses.
while Donatella looks a bit silly on that trick bike and Kanye may-or-may-not-be about to eat one of the Mulleavy sisters, the article provides on-point insight of how music and fashion continue to inspire one another. and me.
plus, the photos (by Max Vadukul) are really quite lovely. yet again Florence Welch steals the show in my opinion.
- Florence Welch and Frida Giannini (Gucci)
- Diplo and Alexander Wang
- Kanye West, Kate and Laura Mulleavy (Rodarte)
- M.I.A. and Donatella Versace
- Yoko Ono, Lazaro Hernandez and Jack McCollough (Proenza Schouler)
- George Craig and Christopher Bailey (Burberry)
- Janelle Monae and Karl Lagerfield (Chanel)
- [not pictured because she beat Justin Bieber. just kidding. but really.:
Esperanza Spalding and Francisco Costa (Calvin Klein)]
neat, eh?
