Solid baselines are what keep the models in step and our toes tapping, and a good beat also helps to visualize the inspiration behind the collection. When the thrumming intro of "Rocky" came on at Alexander Wang, all the better to underscore those furry boxing gloves, or when Butthole Surfers blasted at Rodarte's very nineties-nihilist collection this afternoon? Perfect. We've been keeping track of the music that plays at all the shows so far and we've put it into one Spotify playlist for you to enjoy. Take a listen, and check back again later as we update it with all of the latest runway shows.
