High Fashion was a notable act that emerged within the post-disco wave, infusing the energy of the early 1980s with a sense of sleek, uptown sophistication. The group was fronted by the talented vocalists Alyson Williams and Eric McClinton, and it was under the skilled production and guidance of Jacques Fred Petrus and Mauro Malavasi - the maestri behind the successful band Change - that High Fashion honed its sound. Petrus, infamous for his role in the dance music scene, helped craft High Fashion's image and sonic identity, which was epitomized by their blend of funk, soul, and R&B, delivering a string of dance floor-oriented tracks.

The band’s most acclaimed works include their 1982 debut album "Feelin' Lucky" and the follow-up "Make Up Your Mind." They are perhaps best known for tracks such as "Feelin' Lucky Lately," which became a signature hit with its groovy bass lines and catchy hooks. Although they did not achieve the sustained commercial success of some of their contemporaries, High Fashion left an indelible mark on the early '80s R&B and dance music scene. Their music, characterized by a polished aesthetic and compelling melodies, continues to be celebrated by enthusiasts of the era’s sound, and the re-release of their classic albums and singles has allowed a new generation of listeners to discover their unique contribution to the genre.
