Throughout this week, as part of The Sound of Style season, Chris Hawkins is joined by world famous fashion designer, Sir Paul Smith. Sir Paul talks to Chris about his thoughts on the relationship between fashion and music through the decades from the swinging sixties to the present day.

The Sound of Style season is a collaboration between ΒιΆΉΤΌΕΔ Four and ΒιΆΉΤΌΕΔ Radio 6 Music celebrating the love affair between fashion and music since the 1960s. Episode two of ΒιΆΉΤΌΕΔ Four's three-part series, Oh You Pretty Things, airs tonight at 9pm. It is narrated by Lauren Laverne and each episode is sound-tracked by a 6 Music presenter, bringing their music expertise to showcase the social history, sounds and looks of the period. Stuart Maconie has sound-tracked episode two, which looks at the 1970s. Across the day, 6 Music shows will be styling their music and chat around the 70s, playing the tracks Stuart selected - plus other gems from that decade - and hearing from Stuart about his music choices.

Also in today's show, another US state features in '50 States in 50 Plays' where 'The Hawk' challenges his listeners to help him compile the ultimate list of songs mentioning every state in the USA, all 50 of them... Songs might include Lynyrd Skynyrd's Sweet ΒιΆΉΤΌΕΔ Alabama, The Eagles' Hotel California or Frank Sinatra's New York New York.
