    Yup yup, this all sounds quite good and reasonable, and searching for promotional support within the fashion industry is actually quite clever, so they get a brilliant singer to accompany their catwalk with, and she gets to wear the best dresses. :D win/win, innit?

    Nothing wrong with Primark, apart from conditions of production and most of their style. Ha.

    Yes , I 100% agree with you and the bands decision to do this , I hope it doesn`t start another (yawn) backlash of "selling out" , as per previous threads on the old fourm - people saying that need to give themselves a good slap and grow up - there we are I`ve said it .

    True.
    However I would never call it a sellout at all, rather creative give-and-take. Music influences fashion and vice versa. It had always been like that. So why no collaboration? Really nothing wrong with that.

    Also, setting the debut during fashion week just has some intriguing possibilities for the launch.

    Who cares about selling out really? If it means that Goldfrapp can get paid more to keep doing what they love then so be it I say!

    "Selling Out" is subjective. Goldfrapp never claimed to be some kind of revolutionary act anyway, so really that label doesn't apply. Whether it does apply to say Johnny Rotten who seems to have become more like the acts he claimed to have hated all those years ago is highly subjective. Another example of a band accused of being 'Sell Outs' is Chumbawamba. They began their career with albums like 'Pictures of Starving Children Sell Records' which had a massive critique of EMI, considered a very unethical company at that time for it's ties with the Apartheid regime in South Africa and manufacturing guidance systems for nuclear weapons and the like. Some 10-15 years later Chumbawamba were signed to EMI and scored their biggest hit with 'Tubthumping' and they suffered a huge backlash from their so called 'anarchist' contemporaries, however by being signed to EMI, they got their message out to the masses and donated a lot of money to causes they support, so the very notion of selling out is somewhat contrived, and has never been something relevant to Goldfrapp anyway, that's my take on it

    I saw this morning a scan of an Alison interview, with a really nice b/w photo of her on a side, i couldn't see wich magazine is, since it's an instagram image with the hashtag Goldfrapp, so it's really tiny. Anyone who can scan it?
