Show tunes: Milan Women's fashion week S/S 2013

Fashion week, these days, is about much more than just the collections. Showmanship is the name of game, and in the meticulously executed sartorial extravaganzas, the soundtrack is an element that no producer can afford to overlook. Music royalty - past and present - is enlisted to ensure a full assault on the senses. Here, we bring you the soundtrack to Milan's womenswear shows, with a few tracks streamed in for your listening pleasure.
