In fairness, that baby was Kanye and Kimās daughterābut that drives home the point even more that this season has been more memorable for the music moments than the clothes. From Anna Wintour wearing Beats by Dre at Marc Jacobsā show to Kanye holding a mosh-worthy listening party for his Yeezus follow-up in Paris, spring 2015 fashion month is all about music. Here are some of the most interesting music moments to come out of the homestretch of fashion month.PHARRELL WILLIAMS x COMME des GARĆONS AND MOYNAT
In 2015, everyone will dress and smell like Pharrell. JK, but that reality is slowly becoming possible. After giving us the option to buy his leather Adidas track jacket and matching Stan Smiths, Pharrell has moved on to accessories and released his first Comme des GarƧons fragrance, named for his album Girl. It comes in a bottle designed by the artist Kaws and apparently smells āwoody.ā Pharrell also created a creepy video promo where he puts on a puppet show with the bottle. Because in Pharrellās mind we are all children, heās also working on a bag line for the French leather goods brand Moynat that is railroad-themed, consisting of bags shaped like trains. Rumor has it that North West will model the collection.
The Future of Fashionā¢ conquered her first Fashion Week this Wednesday, sitting front row with her parents at Balenciaga. Not to be upstaged by North and her custom Yeezus tee, Kanye dialed up his outfits throughout the week, wearing his first printāthis crazy Haider Ackermann blazerāin years, coordinating cleavage with Kim, and stunting in a regal steampunk jacket. The timing of Yeās new styleevolution is curious, especially since his new album is on the way. Will it sonically reflect his new maximal look?DAVID BOWIE IS
