District L

I walked into Good Units for Loden Dager to Age of Consent by New Order. As I was scanning the attractive, predominantly-male crowd and enjoying the flawless musical transition from New Order to Crystal Castles, I had the heart-dropping realization that my camera had died, already well aware that my phone was soon to follow. With not enough time to run back to my apartment to retrieve my other outdated technologies, I ran over to Best Buy on 62^nd and started barking sales associates into action. After convincing an entire Geek Squad that my issue took precedence over the sweet family purchasing a phone for their teenage daughter, I managed to catch the Rafael Cennamo presentation with a working camera and time to spare.

Complete with tiaras, regal tones, and a take-no-prisoners attitude, the Rafael Cennamo AW 2012 model presentation was an enhanced representation of my manner just minutes prior. Dramatic silhouettes in glittering hues instantaneously commanded the crowd. Dominant at her worst, but majestic at her best, Rafael Cennamo’s lady ruled with a manicured fist.

We're closing in on what is sure to be yet another fantastic MBFW at Lincoln Center, and we at District L are getting ourselves pumped in the best way we know how - stomping around Manhattan like megalomaniacal crazy people with scary electro from our "Runway" playlists at full blast on our iPods.

So yeah, sorry I came up behind you so quickly on the walk from the L last night - I'm not a rapistmuggermurderkiller, I swear. It's just that the sidewalk is so narrow, you're really slow, this Kavinsky is really head-banging, and I'm all cracked out on the Red Bull I've been drinking all day.

So what is District L hoping to hear in the tents this A/W? We'll tell you - without further ado, allow us to present our official A/W 2011 Audio Wishlist for runway!

…and no worries, it's not just a bunch of MGMT and Fischerspooner. It's 2011, you can relax.

1. Take Me Over - Cut Copy

Fun, dynamic, a good opener with a touch of doe-eyed innocence.

2. Little People (Black City) - Matthew Dear

Just the right amount of attitude, catchy but with some edge and mystery.

3. Make You Mine - Breakbot

Downtempo yet bouncy, reminiscent of Daft Punk without all the cliche.

4. Starlighter - Jupiter

Sexy - what could be more perfect than a song about a woman entering a room and demanding everybody's attention?

5. Motorcycle Boy - Mr. Flash

A solid "walker", with a twinge of roadhouse grime.

6. Empathy - Crystal Castles

We keep jockeying for Crystal Castles, and this is just the right song for the Mik Cires and Sally LaPointes of our world.
