There is no question that background music creates its own atmosphere, especially when shopping.
Most large fashion chains supply their stores with playlists that reflect their customer base; they choose the genre of music designed to influence how you shop and guide your habits as you move through the store.

Music, particularly during fashions shows, has always played a pivotal role, with brands like Chanel, Armani and Hugo Boss choosing to headline the classical violinist Charlie Siem. This perfectly enhanced the experience of high end fashion with a sense of luxury, strengthening their brand identity and creating customer loyalty.

Recently, mega elite brand Louis Vuitton took the collab of music and fashion a step further. Pharell Williams (think 2013 hit single ‘Happy’) was invited to create a men’s range for the fashion house and this collection was subsequently a commercial hit as popular as his music. His spectacular runway music featured a live soundtrack thanks to a 40-piece orchestra with pianist Lang Lang and a 70-strong gospel choir.
