"The synergy between fashion and music is even more pronounced now than it was when we first created Fashion Rocks(TM) three years ago, said Conde Nast Media Group president, Richard D. Beckman. "Each year the line between the two becomes increasingly blurred as more musicians launch fashion lines and more designers align themselves with musicians. Fashion Rocks(TM) 2007 will feature outstanding performers from both worlds who span the spectrum of musical genres and fashion styles and bring to life that special relationship."
The Fashion Rocks(TM) magazine will also return this year.

New to the scene is OBO, an international fashion production company. OBO will be producing the highly anticipated fashion segments that appear throughout the concert. OBO most recently produced the 2007 Victoria's Secret fashion show, as well as shows for Zegna, Marchesa, Tommy Hilfiger, Chloe and Behnaz Sarafpour, among others.
