The relationship between fashion and music has only continued to grow in recent years, so it's only appropriate that the Fashion Rocks show occur during Fashion Week in New York City. The show and its impressive lineup will take to the Barclays Center this year

The two-hour event will be hosted by Ryan Seacrest and broadcast live on CBS. The lineup takes plenty of demographics into consideration: Jennifer Lopez, Pit Bull, Usher, Rita Ora, and Nico & Vinz represent the most mainstream audiences, Miranda Lambert and The Band Perry will handle country music and Afrojack will represent EDM. Duran Duran and KISS may differ heavily in terms of style, but both bands feature a classic discography to keep our parents interested. Also cool to see KISS involved, as the "Fashion" side of Fashion Rocks seems to be suggesting that the band's over-the-top outfits and makeup are in fact a fashion statement. 

Three Lions Entertainment CEO Richard Beckman promises that the show will also incorporate "today's hottest fashions," although they won't outshine the performers onstage. 

The show will also be interesting from a television perspective, as this will be Seacrest's first production for CBS. That means the emcee extraordinaire now has deals with all of the Big Four broadcasting companies, hosting New Year's Rockin' Eve for ABC, American Idol for Fox and a new deal to host red carpet duty at major awards shows in 2015 for NBCUniversal. 

Tickets for Fashion Rocks will go on sale on August 1. More performers will be announced later, according to The Hollywood Reporter
