What artists, songs, or genres inspire you or were on your musical mood board for New York Fashion Week? For us, that was our fashion show-seeing what stylists were putting on the artist. Platforms like MTV, BET, VH1 were the only way to nourish yourself with fashion because we obviously weren’t going to fashion shows. I feel like we look so much to artists for inspo. Raul: Being raised in the ’90s and early 2000s, music and fashion really collided. But all it takes is one great hit to restore all hope in the journey and make the wait worth it. With art, for example, and diving deep into a medium, there are a lot of misses you have to endure. Really, just remaining open-minded and following what I love always leads me to a place of inspiration. Keith: Random adventures, nature walks, trying new things, and experiencing great art are my greatest sources of inspiration. What are your biggest sources of inspiration? And in the ’80s they had so many good music videos with such good style, and a lot of it definitely plays into my collections.
And I love all types of music, especially stuff from the ’90s and early 2000s. I listen to music all day, from when I wake up to when I go to bed. Raul Lopez: I think with Luar I’m really inspired through music. I’ll simultaneously search for new music while doing other things. Keith Herron: I typically do most of my music discovery while creating or working. How does music fit into your creative process?
Raul Lopez, the NYC-based designer behind Luar, will take over our Fashion Forward playlist. In honor of New York Fashion Week, Keith Herron, the 23-year-old designer behind Advisry, will take over our COUNTER//CULTURE mixtape. Follow us around the world to learn about Spotify’s special playlist takeovers and hear from the designers and creative directors themselves.

The Spotify destination features takeovers of some of our top fashion and culture playlists. So, as fashion month kicks off around the world, Spotify is celebrating the innovators leading the way and the music that inspires them with our new destination, The Soundtrack Behind The Runway. Fashion and music go hand in hand, and on Spotify, there are more than 630,000 fashion-inspired playlists created by listeners. And music has a role long before the show, often providing inspiration during the creative process of designing. The music that accompanies the fashion helps evoke the vibe of a collection and the spirit of a designer.
It also requires the right beat to punctuate the walk and accentuate the mood. It takes more than a little confidence to strut down a runway.
