High Fashion (a.k.a. Hi Fashion) is the first track on The Family's first and only album The Family, and, two months after the album's release, High Fashion was released as the album's second and final single. The song was written by Prince, but credited to Jerome Benton and St. Paul Peterson.
While specific recording dates are not known, initial tracking (as Hi Fashion) took place in late June 1984 at the Flying Cloud Drive Warehouse, Eden Prairie, MN, USA (during the same set of sessions that produced Mutiny, River Run Dry, Mazarati (later renamed Susannah's Pajamas), and Desire).
St. Paul Peterson overdubbed vocals onto the track in late 1984 - early 1985. The full-length version, which was edited for use on the album, was intended for a 12" release of High Fashion, but this release was aborted when promotion for the album ended.
