6 Artists, 6 Closets, 1 Playlist: Inside Spotify’s Collaboration With Depop

House of Protection perform onstage during the Spotify x Depop event

What an artist wears can say as much about them as what they listen to. That’s the idea behind Spotify’s collaboration with Depop, which brings together six artists, their personal wardrobes, and an exclusive playlist.

As part of the partnership, Eve, Amira Elfeky, Estevie, Frost Children, House of Protection, and Lily Meola each curated a Depop shop with pieces from their closets, alongside a shared Spotify playlist. Check out the Instagram post below for a peek at each artist’s picks:

This group of artists spans a range of genres and scenes. Eve is the Grammy-winning rapper and actor behind hits including “Who’s That Girl?” and “Let Me Blow Ya Mind.” Amira Elfeky’s sound draws on alternative, nu-metal, and goth rock, while Estevie brings cumbia and regional Mexican music into a contemporary pop setting. Sibling duo Frost Children make high-energy electronic music, House of Protection blend elements of hardcore with electronic and rock influences, and Lily Meola brings a folk-pop sensibility to the lineup.

That range extends to their personal style, with each artist selecting pieces that reflect their individual point of view, from leather chaps and custom band tees to a vintage pink satin nightgown:

Spotify’s Soundtrack Behind The Runway Celebrates Fall Fashion Week With Inspiring Designers From New York, London, Milan, and Paris

It takes more than a little confidence to strut down a runway. It also requires the right beat to punctuate the walk and accentuate the mood. The music that accompanies the fashion helps evoke the vibe of a collection and the spirit of a designer. And music has a role long before the show, often providing inspiration during the creative process of designing. Fashion and music go hand in hand, and on Spotify, there are more than 630,000 fashion-inspired playlists created by listeners. So, as fashion month kicks off around the world, Spotify is celebrating the innovators leading the way and the music that inspires them with our new destination, The Soundtrack Behind The Runway.

The Spotify destination features takeovers of some of our top fashion and culture playlists. Across New York, London, Milan, and Paris, designers including Advisry’s Keith Herron, Luar’s Raul Lopez, MAINS London’s Skepta, Etro’s Marco De Vincenzo, GCDS’s Giuliano Calza, and Rabanne’s Julien Dossena will curate the tracks for popular playlists like Fashion Forward and Runway. Follow us around the world to learn about Spotify’s special playlist takeovers and hear from the designers and creative directors themselves.
