Fashion & Music

Fashion and Music have always collaborated. From the days of David Bowie who heavily influenced gender stereotypes, kick started glam rock and managed to single handedly transform the fashion industry; this influenced the french fashion designer Jean Paul Gautier to pay tribute to Ziggy Stardust for his 2013 runway show; as models took to the catwalk in iconic Bowie inspired looks and even wore Ziggy Stardust wigs. 

In continuation, other designers have managed to collaborate with artists, from the likes of: Rihanna & Dior and Rita Ora & Superga, which manipulated an industry with a massive fan base to buy these particular garments as their in the name of these influential celebrities. I find that these particular collaborations are in the spotlight for a few weeks then eventually die down due to more wacky and eccentric trends coming into place; unless these items of clothing have a particular wow factor which they rarely do, due to making the clothes far too eccentric e.g (fur slippers - Rihanna & Puma). Some of my favourite pieces of a celebrity/music trend are from the Rita Ora X Adidas collection where she aims it at a younger demographic from people aged 16-21 with bold prints and intriguing patterns.
