The Fashion was an indie rock band hailing from Copenhagen, Denmark. Their musical style has been compared to a mix of The Rapture, Beastie Boys, Head Automatica, and LCD Soundsystem.

After some lineup changes, the band began work on its self-titled sophomore effort in the summer of 2006 with Fridolin (Outlandish, Moi Caprice). The music video for lead single "Solo Impala (Take the Money and Run)" debuted winter 2007 on MTV and made its film festival premiere at 2008's SXSW. Following their appearance at SXSW, The Fashion has sold out shows in New York City and released a preview EP through iTunes. The Fashion's second album had a physical release on May 13 from Epic Records - their first release in North America. The single "Like Knives" was featured in the Electronic Arts racing video game, Need for Speed Undercover and in Madden 2009.
