Why Music and Fashion Go Hand in Hand

Fashion and music have always been collaborators — they share the same pulse of culture. Think of Madonna’s cone bras, David Bowie’s glam-rock era, Rihanna’s Savage x Fenty shows scored with live performances. Music amplifies style, and style gives music a visual identity. When you’re crafting your outfit, you’re crafting a mood — and that mood deserves the right soundtrack.


This playlist isn’t just background noise. It’s a call to confidence, a reminder to take up space, and a celebration of personal expression. Each song was chosen with intention — to energize, to empower, and to give every listener their own runway moment.

 
 
 

Switching Styles is based in central Alberta, on the enduring homelands of many Indigenous Peoples, including the Beaver, Big Stone Cree, Cree, Dënéndeh, Ĩyãħé Nakón mąkóce (Stoney), Kelly Lake Métis Settlement Society, Ktunaxa ɁamakɁis, Lheidli T’enneh, Michif Piyii (Métis), Mountain Métis, Niitsítpiis-stahkoii (Blackfoot / Niitsítapi), Očhéthi Šakówiŋ, Tsuut’ina, ᓀᐦᐃᔭᐤ ᐊᐢᑭᕀ Nêhiyaw-Askiy (Plains Cree), Woodland Cree, and many others. As a Canadian music platform, we recognize that the arts exist within broader systems shaped by colonial history. Colonial policies and practices deliberately sought to suppress Indigenous cultures, traditions, and songs. We acknowledge this history and its ongoing impacts of colonialism. We are grateful for the opportunity to share music and culture on these lands, and we commit to ongoing learning, accountability, respect, and meaningful action.
 

We commit to supporting Indigenous voices and ensuring that Indigenous music, stories, and cultures are protected, amplified, and never erased.
