In celebration of the first season of New York Fashion Week at Lincoln Center, Nanette Lepore announced that Grammy nominated musician, John Forté will compose and perform live as the models walk the runway for her Spring 2011 Fashion Show.
Lepore and Forté are partnering to develop music that will capture the mood of the Spring collection, which will also include Lepore’s swim collection, making its debut on the runway.
“The collaboration between me and John Forté represents the celebration of the arts – music and fashion coming together at Lincoln Center. John is composing music exclusively for my fashion show and his artistic talent reflects the feeling we all have at the moment of wanting something handmade and unique,” explained Nanette.

“It’s a wonderful opportunity to be able to work with someone you admire and respect; and I’ve been a fan of Nanette – the person and the designer – for some time now. What we’ve set out to do is inspire each other’s work. In this instance, neither the fashion nor the music is an afterthought. One medium inspires the other, from an initial sketch to a melodic dénouement. Our collaboration is an exceptional moment; one that feels pioneering and yet unforced and organic…a natural progression in an attempt at making something beautiful.” – John Forté
