Songs that mention fashion brands in their song lyrics

Nowadays, there are lots of way in which fashion brands can be advertised to the public and one of the best way is that true media advertising. That could be through magazines, newspapers, television and Internet.

Today, some of the fashion brands can be heard in a song. Song writers have included in the lyrics of the song some of those fashion brands especially if that was very famous. An example of that were Gucci, Ralph Lauren, Prada, Dulce and Gabbana, Abercrombie, YSL, DKNY, and Guess.

Gucci is actually known as iconic Italian fashion and leather goods label. Ralph Lauren is an American fashion designer and business executive. He is most notable for his Polo Ralph Lauren clothing brand. Prada is an Italian fashion label specializing in luxury goods for men and women (ready-to-wear, leather accessories, shoes, and luggage and hats), founded by Mario Prada. Dulce and Gabbana is an Italian luxury fashion brand. Abercrombie is a clothing store with authentic quality gear for over 100 years. That was being included in a song lyric because it was always been desire by everyone due to its high-quality and being famous. YSL or Yves Saint Laurent is a luxury fashion house founded by Yves Saint Laurent and his partner Pierre Berge. Today,its chief designer is Stefano Pilati. Guess is an American name-brand clothing line. It is known for its sexualized advertising campaigns, which have featured explicit black-and-white photographs of fashion models and actresses.

Here are the lists of songs for which you can find the fashion brands that have been mentioned above:

Designer Love - http://dooballoh.com/cgi-bin/display.cgi?id=40747

DKNY - http://www.amiright.com/parody/70s/thestampeders11.shtml


You would probably ask this question, Is there a need for a writer to ask first the permission of a company or else the owner of the fashion brand before they would able to include it in their song lyrics? Well, of course the company or the owner of that fashion brand would like to protect its reputation but I guess there is no need for a writer to ask permission first for as long as he would not be doing anything that is not favorably for the fashion brand.

Fashion brand being mention in a song lyrics is of big help also to the company or the owner of the fashion brand. It could possibly brings up the percentage of clients of that particular fashion brand.
