Composer Max Richter's stirring music has caught the ear of fashion designers including Kim Jones, John Galliano and Rei Kawakubo.

What does fashion have in common with Max Richter’s acclaimed recomposition of Vivaldi’s violin concertos “The Four Seasons”?

In an interview, the soft-spoken German-British composer muses on his unplanned adoption by the fashion world, which found his stirring, minimal music — full of yearning — a perfect accompaniment to its universe, as have numerous filmmakers, ballet companies and video game developers. From his side, Richter says he finds it enriching to have encounters with creatives from other fields, be it dance, film or fashion.

He confesses to having a small collection of watches, flashing his black-faced Braun timepiece, considered the designers’ designer watch, and the Dior Chiffre Rouge on his wrist. He also has an Omega Speedmaster Moonwatch, a wink to his childhood ambition to become an astronaut, and a Snoopy Timex bearing an image of the piano-playing Peanuts character Schroeder, “a great hero of mine as a kid.”

The composer is working on a new record slated for release later this year, and has performances lined up at the Kulturpalast in Dresden on May 31, Queen Elizabeth Hall in London on June 8, and the Philharmonie de Paris on Nov. 16.
