Paris Women's A/W 2013 fashion week: show tunes

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 the womenswear collections from Paris Women's Fashion Week A/W 2013, with a few tracks streamed in for your listening pleasure.
