"    Photo: Getty Images   Now that Paris Fashion Week has wrapped up, find out what sounded on the catwalks in The City of Light. New York Fashion Week provided a slew of great jams, and Paris continued the stream of old and new artists\u2014including hits from iconic names like Nina Simone, Paul McCartney, and The Beach Boys, to of-the-moment favorite Azealia Banks. The music was eclectic not just in genre, but approach as well. Saint Laurent designer Hedi Slimane teamed up with Daft Punk, Karl Lagerfeld brought the Chromatics to play a live set during Chanel, and Miu Miu took the mash-up approach to a runway soundtrack.   Here, ELLE.com has narrowed down the top 10 tracks from Paris Fashion Week Spring 2013. Have a listen. 1. &amp;quot;Esta Noche&amp;quot; by Azealia Banks at Mugler Lady Gaga might have been billed as musical director for the show, but there&amp;#039;s another songstress who Nicola Formichetti has taken notice of\u2014Azealia Banks. A fan of her style, Formichetti closed the Mugler show with this supercharged track off her mixtape Fantasea. Boasting a groovy sample from Montell Jordan&amp;#039;s &amp;quot;Get It On Tonite,&amp;quot; deep electronic pulses, and her signature salacious lyrics, the heat was most definitely on. 2. &amp;quot;I Gotta Try You Girl&amp;quot; by Junior Kimbrough at Saint Laurent As per request of designer Hedi Slimane, French electronic duo Daft Punk edited a playlist of songs from the late American rhythm and blues pioneer, Junior Kimbrough, for Saint Laurent&amp;#039;s highly-anticipated womenswear debut. This track in particular was the perfect dose of cool with hypnotic guitar riffs and badass lyrics fit for the collection&amp;#039;s dark rock &amp;#039;n&amp;#039; roll glamour. 3. &amp;quot;Lady&amp;quot; by the Chromatics at Chanel Among the eco-friendly windmills churning inside of the Grand Palais, The Chromatics performed live as Karl Lagerfeld presented his latest collection for Chanel down a solar-paneled runway. This synth-pop track off their LP Kill For Love is slinky, sexy, and just energetic enough to keep up with Lagerfeld&amp;#039;s vitality. 4. &amp;quot;I&amp;#039;ve Got You Under My Skin&amp;quot; by Neneh Cherry vs. &amp;quot;Jazz In Paris&amp;quot; by Malcolm McLaren at Miu Miu Runways are no stranger to a good mash-up and this juxtaposition of songs at Miu Miu was just as compelling as it was creative. Quintessential Parisian glamour was eminent as the trumpet sounded loud and proud. When joined by Swedish singer-songwriter Neneh Cherry&amp;#039;s hip-hop rhymes, it was an ironic match which thrived off of the collection&amp;#039;s femme-fatale motif. 5. &amp;quot;Check My Machine&amp;quot; by Paul McCartney at Stella McCartney Leave it to Stella McCartney to pay tribute to her father, Sir Paul McCartney, in the most magnificent of fashion. She closed her catwalk with an experimental track off of Sir Paul&amp;#039;s 1980 album McCartney II. With its groovy backbeat, synthesized vocals, and hint of electronics, it was totally forward-thinking for its time. And so the saying goes, like father, like daughter. 6. &amp;quot;La For\u00EAt (Balenciaga Remix by Joakim)&amp;quot; by LESCOP at Balenciaga Just as with a clothing design, in order for a song to be runway-ready, it sometimes needs an alteration\u2014in other words, a remix. This first single on LESCOP&amp;#039;s album was put into the rightful hands of Joakim, a prominent French electronic musician, who adapted the track to be better-suited for the model&amp;#039;s runway stride and complementary to Nicolas Ghesqui\u00E8re&amp;#039;s sharp spring collection. 7. &amp;quot;Sinnerman&amp;quot; by Nina Simone at Carven Nina Simone had the kind of pipes that are always likely to raise goosebumps, but her rendition of this turn of the 20th century classic is absolutely enthralling. Simone&amp;#039;s unparalleled, soulful vocals and the song&amp;#039;s stirring instrumentals have made it a runway favorite and Carven&amp;#039;s whimsical spring collection certainly did it justice. 8. &amp;quot;Le Goudron&amp;quot; by YACHT at Alexis Mabille American electropop band YACHT has the kind of sound which makes it seem as if they were simply plucked from a different decade. This cover of French avant-pop singer Brigitte Fontaine&amp;#039;s 1969 song only emphasizes this notion. Modernized by vivid and heavy synth bass, it kept the Alexis Mabille runway vibrant while still tapping into the collection&amp;#039;s retro flavor. 9. &amp;quot;Wouldn&amp;#039;t It Be Nice&amp;quot; by The Beach Boys at  Rochas Despite being first and foremost a French fashion house, designer Marco Zanini wasn&amp;#039;t afraid to look beyond the borders of France for music that would serve as an appropriate counterpart to a collection with some serious &amp;#039;60s vibes. Who better than The Beach Boys for notes of nostalgia and an overall feel-good atmosphere?  10. &amp;quot;Set Up&amp;quot; by Au Pairs at Chlo\u00E9 A British post-punk band, the Au Pairs were well-known in the &amp;#039;80s for their gender-blurring tendencies and politically-charged anthems. This 1983 track features an upbeat mixture of disco and soul, making for a delicious synth-pop track fit for celebrating the fashion house&amp;#039;s 60th anniversary\u2014and a collection which served as a retrospective of Chlo\u00E9&amp;#039;s ever-present feminine confidence.
