Below, he fill us in on how long it takes to prepare his Fashion Week music, the first fashion show he went to and more.
What songs are you planning to play during fashion week?
It took me nine months to compile the records that IâÂÂm playing during Fashion Week. YouâÂÂll just have to be at the parties to hear them.
What song should never be played at a fashion show?
I donâÂÂt think there should be any boundaries on the music played at a fashion show, it should be more creative than a nightclub.

Something that conveys the mood and feeling that the designer is trying to portray with their designs.
What show would you most like to DJ?
Helmut LangâÂÂs comeback show.

It was the Imitation of Christ show. Bauhaus, "Bela LugosiâÂÂs Dead."

Marc Jacobs.
