Mimi Xu:The secret soundtrack to fashion week
Posted Sep 17, 2009
And that is of course why Swide is here to stalk the Twitterverse, google the fashionistas, bookmark Facebook and find out exactly what, or rather what the fashion pack were listening to last night.
Fashion’s best-kept secret weapon (if you've been to a fashion party, chances are you've clicked your heels to this little lady), Misty Rabbit, aka. Mimi Xu is a DJ bunny by night and boss of her own record label Kuskus by day. Dior Homme, Prada, Alexander McQueen and Chloe, have all requested her services along with residences at Paris clubs Le Baron and Regine's, as well as gigs at Acne, and Colette twitter.com/mistyrabbit.
With fashion DJ's therefore tricky to pinpoint - Swide has for your playlist pleasure prepared a quick NY fashion week round-up of womenswear fashion week music "trends" to date.
Marc Jacobs kicked off his Kabuki show with Lillac a Libertine,” from the album “Emelline Art Bitch” by Charli XCX.
The Rodarte show had "piano music shrieking in the distance on soundtrack" whilst DKNY opted for love songs.
Alexander Wang sent models down the catwalk to 'drum rolls and a military beat' whereas as yesterday's Michael Kors show soundtrack according to Derek Blasberg on Twitter "went from Gaga's Poker Face to Madonna's Celebration. Then back to Gaga's The Fame, now a mix between Madge and Gaga. WE GET IT!!"
Madonna was also on the turntables at DVF who opened her show with Madonna's Erotica.
Meanwhile on the after-party scene, Alexander Wang had Courtney Love (singing both old songs and new in between hurling insults at her audience) followed by a Santigold set.
Spotted any trends? Us neither. When it comes to msuic trends, it would appear fashion folk are in a world of their own...

5 songs to... put you in the mood for digital love
I honestly fail to see sense in Valentine's day if you're a day over 13-years-old. Single people use it as an excuse to complain about being single (all men are jerks and all girls are crazy and whatnot), and couples ignore it or use it as an excuse to invite single friends over for dinner and boast about their love.

5 songs to... bring on the Super Bowl
Apparently, the Super Bowl isn't only a chance for a pop singer to get on a stage with the whole US of A watching. No, it seems that there's also a certain amount of interest in a game of football (their football, you know, American football) that happens before and after the pop performance. Who knew?
