Whether it be the punk scene of 1960’s London; the unabashed flamboyance of 1970’s pop costuming; the grungy girl rock of the late 90’s; or the genre-defying fluidity of the 2010’s…

Historically undeniable is the intersection between music and fashion.

If art decorates space, music decorates time. What plays on the radio — or from the aux cord— ultimately sets a mood for societal movements and sways the cultural zeitgeist upon clothing in particular.

This summer’s musical chart toppers from Puerto Rican rapper Bad Bunny predict a sweltering season ahead. 

Titled “Un Verano Sin Ti,’ or roughly translated “A Summer Without You,” Bad Bunny’s fifth studio album delivers funky reggaeton beats and bass-lined pop influences hot enough to swelter up the summer’s swimwear style. Already the most streamed album on Spotify so far in 2022, this project celebrates the rich tapestry of Latinx heritage. Focusing on the self and the redefinition of identity, hits like “Yo No Soy Celoso,” or “I am Not Jealous” assert Single Girl Summer to be in full swing. 

Appropriately, the season’s Resort 2023 trends as debuted so far have mirrored Bad Bunny’s sentiment for singularity & solidarity. A stark contrast to the complex, strappy, multiple piece sets infiltrating low grade online retailers, the Luxury One Piece suit reclaims a sense of divine femininity and empowerment in its subtle show-and-tell of the figure.

Recent releases from MOSCHINO, MICHAEL KORS (Both Slide 1) & DOLCE&GABBANA (Slide 2) remind us of the One Piece’s timeless allure, while latest collections from JADE SWIM (Slide 1) & FLEUR DU MAL (Slide 2) invoke hourglass silhouettes slinky enough to flamenco dance in the Miami heat.

Notably, ecologically conscious activewear brand ABYSSE (Slide 2) designs for the sustainable as well as the sporty with pieces meant to ride the waves.
