We couldn’t think of a better way to end NYFW than with The Blonds at Milk Studios on Thursday. The Blonds didn’t disappoint in all their opulent glory along with their sense of humor (insert the “tophat” and “LOL” headbands!).
Stylist Patricia Field, Jay Manuel (of America’s Next Top Model) and actor Alan Cumming watched from the front row as Phillipe (half of the fabulous duo) strutted down the runway following a brief cabaret number complete with feathers. As per usual, we saw some serious craftsmanship throughout on the showstopping corsets and the Grecian floor-length dresses. One of our favorites was the pearl dress, which was an absolute stunner. There were also a few surprises as Barbie made her debut on the runway to celebrate the Mattel and The Blonds collaboration as well as former Victoria Secret model Selita Ebanks who closed the show.
It’s no wonder that this duo in life and business has outfitted the likes of Rihanna, Katy Perry and Lady Gaga, but it is truly their aesthetic as exemplified by the collection that inspires us all to tap into that sexy “inner showgirl!”
The full Blonde Collection will be unveiled and for sale November 16, 2010: barbiecollector.com
