Catwalk need music too!

What else we can relate between music and fashion? If music is the domain, fashion is the support at the back. Oh ya, CATWALK! Music plays an important role in cat walk, as we can see cat walk event have a lot of musics as their background. I found a local example of the model as one of my research. Esther Tan is an instructor who won the Miss Chinatown Pageant 2004 and who’s now a constant figure in most major runway shows (Yee, 2011). She had shared about feeling the music and mood while walking to her students. So, music beats also important, it creates different type of mood and feeling towards a model's walking speed and a model's expression. Model should know when to start walking once music on, how to walk according to the mood of music, when to turn, pose and stop.

When everything clicked together, the model could show out the clothing itself. It is follow the fashion designers that designed those clothes who want their audiences to have what kind of mood and feeling when they look their clothes, so music could be the 'supporter' to portray all these feelings.

Here is a short catwalk clip, to let you see the works of beautiful combination between music and catwalk. You will realize models follow their the beat of musics while walking are also like dancers follow the beat to dance and you will feel it is just right.
