When we think about the evolution of fashion, there may be no better mirror than that of music, particularly popular music. Technology goes way faster, literature goes slower, art keeps its own pace, but music and fashion tend to operate in sync, feeding off each other, growing and receding in equal measure.
To celebrate this rich, symbiotic relationship, I’ve delved deep into the archives of our modern era (1914-2014) in search of the best-dressed or most stylish musicians and their music. From Irving Berlin to Mamie Smith, Glenn Miller to David Bowie, Blondie to Beyoncé, you’ll find 100 looks for 100 years in the gallery above, as well as a bit of context about their place in the music and fashion timeline. You’ll also hear songs from each year, and if you press play on the video playlist below, you can keep it going while you explore the gallery.
