Check out my soundtrack for the Lako Bukia AW12 show for London Fashion Week, including my brand new bespoke Arcade Fire remix and an unreleased track by LORE, and some photos I took below backstage. You can see more of the collection currently HERE.
I kicked off the second day of LFW with the Lako Bukia SS12 show at Vauxhall Fashion Scout for which I did the soundtrack. I created an original bespoke remix of Arcade Fire's The Suburbs (Continued) which I mixed in with Nicolas Jaar's exquisite remix of Azari & III and Caribou's remix of Radiohead. For the finale I chose the upbeat synth-pop sound of Sprawl II (Mountains Beyond Mountains) by Arcade Fire to contrast with the minimal soundtrack of the main show.
Lako's delicate and beautiful collection mixed Asian-influenced style and prints with a contemporary minimal design to flattering and striking effect, the flowing chiffon dresses were complimented by structured uniform pieces that retained a soft element in their boldness with a red, black and white color palette. Gorgeous.
Below is a photo I took backstage, the full video of the show and a link to stream just my soundtrack featuring my original remix of Arcade Fire as well as a link to download.
For day 1 of London Fashion Week I DJ'd for the launch of the Vauxhall Fashion Scout Graduate Showcase which will now continue each season. Featuring a hand-picked selection of some of the most exciting new talent (drawn from recently graduated students at CSM, LCF, the RA,Westminster Du Montfort and Kingston universities), twelve students presented three outfits, styled by Fashion156 founder Guy Hipwell.
