STYLE: Shop To The Beat

<encoded><p>Last week, The Gay UK were invited to the French Connection store on Oxford Street, where the delectable George Lamb was waiting to spin us some tunes and showcase Panasonic's newest line in stylish headphones. Never one to turn down a glass of champagne, we headed on down to check it out.</p> <p>by Becky Harper | 22nd March 2013</p> <p></p> <p> </p> <p><img src="http://www.thegayuk.com/communities/8/004/009/928/388/images/4589324062.jpg" width="461" height="307" alt="" title=""/></p> <p></p> <p></p> <p>The never knowingly underdressed DJ has created five exclusive playlists to help fashion-lovers shop for anything from a killer look for a hot date to summer staples for that weekend away. Each soundtrack has been carefully selected to aid and inspire, featuring everything from cult classics to floor fillers.</p> <p></p> <p>The playlists were launched at the star-studded Shop To The Beat party held at French Connection’s flagship Oxford Street store. VIPs had the pleasure of a DJ set from George and an exclusive preview of five French Connection SS13 looks inspired by the playlists.</p> <p></p> <p> </p> <p><img src="http://www.thegayuk.com/communities/8/004/009/928/388/images/4589324064.jpg" width="461" height="307" alt="" title=""/></p> <p>George Lamb commented: “Music gets you in the mood for any situation, and it’s much easier to style yourself if you’re feeling inspired. Whether it’s been a long day at work or a frantic journey to get to the shops, good tunes through good headphones can make a huge difference. I hope everyone’s as inspired by the playlists as I was making them!”</p> <p></p> <p>The playlists have been created to celebrate the launch of Panasonic’s stylish new range of headphones to suit every fashion fan’s taste, without compromising on sound quality. The HXD3 comes in five stand-out matt colours: red, violet, brown, white and black. The HXD5’s sleek design will suit any minimalist with its industrial look and stand out accent colours. The HXD7, with its retro square shape and touches of stainless steel in the headband is sure to appeal to those with a taste for fashion. </p> <p></p> <p> </p> <p><img src="http://www.thegayuk.com/communities/8/004/009/928/388/images/4589324057.jpg" width="460" height="690" alt="" title=""/></p> <p></p> <p>State of the art sound and outstanding design come together with two new high-end Panasonic Technics, the DH1250 and DJ1215 which will both be available in black and silver, perfect for professionals, DJs and stylish music lovers. </p> <p>French Connection customers can receive 30% off the headphones via Panasonic’s online store. </p> <p></p> <p>The five Shop To The Beat playlists created by George Lamb are big night out, first date, job interview, weekend casuals and mini break.
