FASHION
Lear Amanda Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
I took a cab to show me to the disco scene
He said: o.k.
You wanna see those crazy people
Hastling at the door to get into Studio 54.
Well, I was in and everybody was "travolting"
The fashion queens
Andy snapping
Margaux dancing with Scavullo
Liza dancing on the floor and Bianca walking through the door.
Who is in? Who is out? Tell me
Tell me, tell me
Who is in? Who is out? Famous and trendy.
In people always have to smile in Vogue
They only travel by Concorde
Doing things you can't afford.
They are the fashion pack
People you see in the magazines
They are the fashion pack
They're always smiling in theit limousines
They only come on their trendy track
They are the fashion pack.
In Paris you got to be seen at Maxim's
The Palace
The "7" and then go Chez Regine
Champagne
Caviar
Haute-coututer
Expensive cars
Saint Laurent and Loulou
Rich ladies with a few bijoux.
Who is in ? Who is out ? Tell me
Tell me
Tell me
Who is in ? Who is out ? Woman's wear Dally.
Rock stars sniffing
While Marisa's posing
Paloma's counting her paintings
The models of Zoli flirting.
They are the fashion pack
People you see in the magazines
They are the fashion pack
They're always smiling in theit limousines
They only come on their trendy track
They are the fashion pack.
They are the fashion pack
They read a lot of silly magazines
Like to sit around gossiping
In the back of their limousines.
They are the fashion pack
People you see in the magazines
They are the fashion pack
They only come out after dark
Got to keep on their trendy track
They are the fashion pack.
Hey
What's your name
Didn't I see you in Interview last month
Or was it the Ritz
Gee
You're so famous
May I have your autograph.
It's a holi-holiday
LEAR AMANDA's song "Fashion Pack" is a song that talks about the elitism and exclusivity of the fashion industry, and how only the wealthy elite can make it into that world. The song is set in a disco, where the singer takes a cab to get to the scene. The singer observes the people around her, who are all part of the "fashion pack." These include models, movie stars, and other celebrities. The song name-drops some of them, such as Liza and Bianca.
The singer observes that in the world of fashion, there is a hierarchy, and everyone wants to know who is "in" and who is "out." The song implies that being "in" means being rich, famous, and fashionable, and that these people only associate with others like them. The song alludes to popular fashion spots, such as Maxim's in Paris and Studio 54 in New York, which were known for being exclusive and expensive.
Overall, "Fashion Pack" is a commentary on the fashion industry's elitism and exclusivity. It portrays a world where only the wealthy and famous can make it, and everyone is trying to climb up the ranks. The song shines a light on the superficiality and materialism of the fashion world and the people who inhabit it.

The elite class always appears in a happy mood in public lifestyle magazines. They prefer Concorde planes for travel, spend on luxurious things that an average person cannot afford.

To be in the limelight in Paris, one should make an appearance at fashionable places like Maxim's, The Palace, The '7,' and then go to places like Regine. They must catch up with the lavish lifestyle, sip champagne, relish caviar, and flaunt in haute couture outfits with expensive cars. They should own exclusive designer outfits from brands like Yves Saint Laurent and Loulou and wear economical adornments.
