Last week, our feeds were practically taken over by the Victoria’s Secret Fashion Show. The wings, the looks, the models — plenty of inspiration for anyone who loves fashion (and perhaps a little motivation to book that Pilates class, or even give weightlifting a go). But Victoria’s Secret isn't the only one stealing the spotlight. October has been quite the month for runways, so we thought: why not give the music behind them a little attention too?

A fashion show is never just about the clothes. Picture a dramatic Dior collection gliding down the runway in silence, or to a polite little jingle. Or imagine Balenciaga’s futuristic, slightly rebellious looks strutting out to a gentle piano lullaby instead of pounding experimental electronics. Awkward, isn't it? The right soundtrack can turn a collection into a whole experience, setting the mood, building anticipation and giving the clothes a personality of their own.

So, for this week’s Focus On, we have rounded up 17 tracks that have strutted their way onto the runways of Dior, Chanel, Prada, Hermès, Balenciaga, Saint Laurent and more. Think Kate Bush and Björk, SebastiAn, Ravel and The Rolling Stones, all in one playlist.

Consider it your front-row seat to fashion’s musical side. No invitation required.
