The soundtrack to Paris Fashion Week’s S/S 2015 menswear shows

Showmanship is the name of the game, and in the meticulously executed sartorial extravaganzas, the sound space is an element that no producer or designer can afford to overlook. Music royalty - past, present and future - is enlisted to ensure a full assault on the senses. Here, we bring you Paris Fashion Week's catwalk mega-mix from the S/S 2015 menswear collections.
