How to choose the best music for fashion shows
Music for fashion shows | Stylish musical accompaniment for the catwalk - Limunt
Theme: live music, tips & tricks, entertainment.
When it comes to planning a fashion show, it's not just the collection and the fashion show itself that determines the experience. Music plays an equally crucial role in setting the mood and setting the scene for the event. Fashion show music sets the tone for the entire event and can transform an ordinary presentation into a memorable and exclusive experience that supports the brand aesthetic and strengthens the visual expression.
At Limunt, we specialise in providing musical solutions for corporate events, including fashion shows, where timing, style and sound quality are paramount. We work closely with brands and event agencies to create customised soundtracks that highlight design, attitude and movement on the catwalk.
Create an unforgettable catwalk experience with the right music
The choice of music for the catwalk has a big impact on the overall look of the show. What tempo matches the models' walk? What mood should the audience be left with? Should the music create drama, lightness or understated elegance? What undertones and expressions should be emphasised?
Fashion show music doesn't just serve as background - it's an integral part of the artistic expression and must be carefully selected to match the theme of the collection and the flow of the presentation. The right music evokes emotion, reinforces the brand position and gives the audience and press present a memorable experience.
Customise the music to your brand image and collection
Fashion is a story in motion - and music should support that story. A sharp and urban collection often requires electronic beats or a dynamic DJ for fashion shows, while a romantic and exclusive line can be elevated with soft strings or an atmospheric piano piece.
At Limunt, we always recommend that the music is chosen in close co-operation with you, focusing on both brand identity and the creative vision of the show. We offer both DJs and live musicians - from violinists and saxophonists for customised band setups - which can be tailored to your needs.
DJ or live music at the fashion show - what should you choose?
The choice between fashion show DJ and live music depends on the mood, ambition and practicality of your event.
- A fashion show DJ gives you flexibility in music, remix options and precise control of tempo and duration. With an experienced DJ, you can easily customise the soundtrack to the timing of the models for a modern, professional look. See more here: Limunt DJs.
- Live music, on the other hand, adds a perhaps even more unique and sensory element to the show. For example, a solo violinist playing during the opening act or a jazzy trio accompanying the finale will give the event a memorable extra touch that the audience will remember.
Pace and rhythm that matches the walk of the models
The music should work closely with the models' choreography. The ideal rhythm depends on the length of the catwalk, the speed of the modelling and the mood you want to convey. A professionally composed soundtrack or live performance ensures that everything flows precisely - without interruptions or awkward transitions.
At Limunt, we have extensive experience in providing catwalk music that works in close coordination with the technical execution and choreography of the show.
Benefits of live music during the fashion show
Live music creates something extraordinary. The audience is engaged in a new way, and the show takes on an exclusive flavour that both press and guests notice. With our network of professional musicians, you can book an elegant string trio, a jazzy pianist or a soloist to provide fashion show entertainment that really elevates the experience.
- Music that supports the style and theme of the collection
- Professional timing ensures a flawless show run
- Unique live experience that impresses audiences and press alike
- Customised soundscape that emphasises brand identity

The most frequently asked questions for us!
The name Limunt originated as a contraction of the words Tove Music Entertainment. We have booked music since 2016 through the concepts Jazzkollektivet, Popkollektivet, Strygerkollektivet etc., but decided in 2022 to bring the activity under Limunt and create a better coherence and clarity of our many different offers.
We handpick our musicians from the great Danish, Swedish, Norwegian and German talent pool. In the administration, we all have a background as professional musicians in a wide range of genres. Through our large network, the Danish conservatories, jam sessions throughout the country and by constantly keeping a finger on the pulse of the Danish music scene, we can ensure a high level every time. We make a virtue of onboarding each individual musician so that expectations are aligned from the start. The musicians should do what they do best: play great music - then Limunt handles all the administration around each performance.
Payment will fall after your event. You will receive an invoice from our administration.
In most cases, it is possible to extend the playing time if you do not want the music to stop at the agreed time. However, as we only book professional musicians, there may be circumstances where this is not possible, for example if the musicians have another job later in the day, have an early job the next day or a voice that can't cope any longer. If you want to make sure you have the option to book an extra set of music on the day, we recommend that you arrange this with your Limunt contact so that both you and the musicians are aware of the option.
The prices we quote are in most cases inclusive of transport (to land bridges), VAT and engineering (up to 100 people).
We customise each specific offer - booking everything from a single solo musician playing a single song to live music over several days for larger events. Try our price calculator or contact us for a no-obligation quote.
We provide substitutes in case of illness, so you don't lose the music for your event. We have built up good procedures with our many musicians and have an action plan in case of illness. Our large catalogue of musicians means that in almost all cases we can find a talented replacement in a very short time.
It's hard to give a clear answer, as we book solo musicians, traditional party bands and full orchestras of 9-10 people. A traditional band of 3-5 people should have at least 3×4 meters to stand on. A solo musician can manage on 3×2 meters. However, there are many factors that come into play when it comes to space - so it's best to have a chat with your Limunt contact. A concrete example where the above rule does not quite apply is when booking a party band: here we at Limunt always recommend placing the music in the same room as the bar, as this way you gather the activity and the party in one place - and get more people on the dance floor! If there are not quite 3×4 meters to stand on, we still recommend placing the band at the bar, even if the musicians need to sit a little close, to ensure the good party!
Typically in sets of either 2 x 45 minutes or 3 x 45 minutes. But it all depends on the function of the music: whether it's background music, a beautiful feature or party music to get the party started. We provide everything from a single heartfelt song for the wedding to music for 10 hours during a larger event.
You are always welcome to make suggestions for the repertoire - that way we get to know your taste and try to include everything possible. However, we cannot guarantee to fulfil all your wishes. We are often in dialogue with customers who are very unsure about the repertoire - and we are here to help. By booking more than 500 jobs annually, we know what works for different events. Our professional musicians are also good at reading the audience on the day, which means that changes can be made to the setlist during the performance.
When booking an event with 1-3 songs for e.g. a wedding, we take a dialogue about what is possible - and in most cases we can meet your wishes.
The jazz concept Jazzkollektivet was what started it all in 2016. Then followed Popkollektivet, Strygerkollektivet etc. In 2022 we decided to bring all our concepts and booking together on this new site!
