When fashion is a sounding board for music

The most fashionable DJs to take inspiration for our clubbing looks When fashion is a sounding board for music

A simple T-shirt, a pair of jeans and the ubiquitous headphones: the look that characterised the cliché of DJ, especially in the techno genre, for many years was strictly total black. Why did DJs only wear black? Perhaps to play it safe and to suggest to the audience that they concentrate on the true essence of their art without being distracted by 'superfluous'.

But times have changed and DJs, just like singers, have realised that it is important to have a strong personal branding, meaning to create a unique and coherent personality that is instantly recognised by the audience. The outfit plays a key role in this. A certain aesthetic corresponds to the musical style: a personal image cultivated in the right way can only enhance the messages conveyed through the music.

We have selected the most stylish DJs for you to draw inspiration for clubbing looks - from those who focus on a uniform to those who study a refined look for every performance.

Her particular focus on fashion was developed during her studies at the London School of Fashion, before she dedicated herself to a DJ career. Peggy trained between Berlin clubs, the London fashion atmosphere and Korean tradition, elements that shape her particular genre of music, which she calls 'K-house' (a reference to K-pop). Her music is reflected in her style and vice versa: DJ is a true style icon, making her looks part of her performances in the world's hottest clubs. She has also launched her own clothing collection, Kirin.
