The Blonds NYFW F/W19 – Review

INSPIRED BY: Iconic gangster movies, reimagined in design duo Phillipe and David Blond’s philosophy of creating glamorous and eclectic lineups with a tongue-in-cheek, rebellious twist.
POP-CULTURE NOD: Nicki Minaj opening the first show of the U.S. leg of her Nicki WRLD tour.
WEAR IT TO: Channel your inner Cleopatra and catch a set by Egyptian trance producers Aly and Fila under the stars at the Pyramids of Giza.
FIRST READ: From the moment Phillipe Blond opened the show in an oversized, metallic-gold-lined, faux-fur ivory coat, the show played out like an ode to Studio 54, featuring Paris Hilton, Karrueche Tran, Mj Rodriguez, Aquaria, Lion Babe and The Clermont Twins in a series of vampy looks covered in sequins, metallic studs, feather accents and tiger prints.
BEST LOOK: A deep V-neck emerald dress covered in metallic accents and featuring an asymmetrical zipper to create a thigh-high front slit, styled with a gold chain and rhinestone headpiece that paid homage to the show’s ‘70s vibe.
EYE-CATCHING ACCENTS: Ever the crowd-pleasing provocateurs, The Blonds’ upped the lineup’s razzle-dazzle factor through sparkly trainers in jewel tones, a figure-hugging jumpsuit with an intergalactic feel, and strategically-placed gold hardware on barely-there looks. Lil’ Kim then closed the show with a performance of her new song, Go AWFF.
SPOTTED IN THE FROW: Desmond Napoles, Delilah Belle Hamlin, Lydia Hearst, EJ Johnson, Iskra Lawrence, J. Alexander, Jillian Mercado, Andrew Werner, Billy Porter, Nigel Barker, Carmen Carrera, Warren Elgort, TK Quann, Cipriana Quann, Fern Mallis, Susanne Bartsch,
OVERHEARD COURTSIDE: “Are you going to the after-party at Top of the Standard?”
COLOR WHEEL: Emerald, gold, black, white, silver, brown, tan.
