We've seen a few artists team up with fashion houses over the past few seasons, think Lily at Chanel and those cheeky Kooks' boys at Burberry, but the latest collaboration comes via LCD Soundsystem. The electro-pop band provided the backdrop to YSL's Autumn/Winter collection this week in Paris.
The band are who played live at the show, composed the piece just for this collection. The group are well-known for their mature electro sound (who can forget their track Daft Punk Is Playing At My House - it was made for dancing to) so it was definitely a surprise choice for the famous French brand. YSL are known for their elegant and glamourous designs, so paired with crashing beats it shouldn't fit, but somehow it does.
The collection on the whole had a dark theme, with flashes of jewel tones, which is where I think LCD Soundsystem came in. Along with the colour pop of the shoes, the bouncy electro-pop soundtrack helped to lift the mood.
I'm now off to re-kindle my love for the band, but here's a track to tickle your fancy if you've not already tasted the delights the band have to offer.
