British Invasion! Mark Ronson!

I picked up the latest addition of Nylon the other day and realized that it was completely devoted to London. Trends, music, it even pointed me in the right direction for shopping all over the city. Then I realized that we're in the newest wave of a British invasion. First fashion week brought top English designers to Bryant Park then Amy Winehouse dominates the Grammy's with five wins and a great performance via satellite and now a dedication to the Union Jack in Nylon. My favorite Brit at the moment is Mark Ronson.

Mark is a DJ, producer, and solo artist from the UK. Oh, and also, a label boss and a Grammy winner. He's most known from his collaboration with Radiohead and Alex Greenwald, lead singer of Phantom Planet, on "Just". The layered with soul, funk and hip hop beats it served as Mark's inspiration for his latest album "Versions". Seemlessly, he blends his interpretations with well known pop and hip hop fathering a beautiful combination of all types of sound.
