Fashion week: music from the Milan Shows
Philipp Plein
Angel Haze was the surprise showing at Philipp Plein. The 22-year-old Detroit-born rapper performed next to a ‘dead’ cowboy at the finale of the German designer’s show. « I’ve been to shows in America, and they’re never production-wise anything like this, » she told WWD. Her first album « Dirty Gold » out now.

Prada
The music at Prada was created by sound artist Frédéric Sanchez who mixed « The Ballad of Sexual Obsession by Nina Hagen » and Ben Frost’s « Peter Venkman Pt. 1 » (Gluteus Maximus remix) with live lyrics adapted and performed by L’Usignolo (the concert group are named after « The Nightingale »), Pina Bausch elements and transcriptions by Kurt Weill.

John Varvatos
The rock and roll-obsessed designer couldn’t help himself in Milan. He recently bagged rock ‘n’ roll legends Kiss as the stars of his Spring-Summer 2014 campaign (check out the video here), so it came as a fun surprise when the final models appeared in full Kiss makeup. However, the excitement really ramped up when the musical stars themselves appeared on the runway at the finale.
