| 4 December 2025 - Fashion.at Music Tip: Sébastien Tellier returns with "Thrill Of The Night" – an irresistible electronic disco anthem featuring Slayyyter's Studio 54-edged vocals and Nile Rodgers' unmistakable guitar. Produced by Oscar Holter (The Weeknd) and SebastiAn, the track channels the euphoric spirit of French Touch nights where anything feels possible. The accompanying video, directed by Melchior Leroux (the visionary behind Theodora's viral "Fashion Designa"), places the three artists in a hallucinatory, green-screen-built disco world. Leroux explains that the surreal aesthetic, inspired by 80s slashers and films like Carrie and Suspiria, was entirely assembled as a vast digital collage in post-production. Alongside the release, Tellier announces his new album Kiss The Beast, out 30 January 2026 on Because Music, and a major European tour in 2026 – with Paris at 'L'Olympia' and other dates already sold out.

| 17 November 2025 - Fashion.at Music Tip: 'Art Deco' by Lana del Rey (Parov Stelar Artifact Version) Austrian electro-swing maestro Parov Stelar reimagines Lana Del Rey's "Art Deco" on his new album "Artifact" (out now). The track embodies Art Deco's essence through a stunning blend of electronic beats and orchestral elements—glamorous yet cold, luxurious yet uncertain. The central line "So Art Deco out on the floor" connects the iconic 1920s design movement—known for luxury, glamour, and modernity with an underlying coldness—to a woman "shining like gunmetal, cold and unsure." Like the angular elegance of Art Deco itself, the song captures surface sophistication masking inner vulnerability: a perfect portrait of the modern club queen navigating nightlife's dazzling contradictions. |
