Duo behind The Blonds get introspective with new collection

NEW YORK (AP) — From the first beat, it was clear The Blonds latest collection would fuse their past with the label's latest collection and one embellishment would tie it all together — gold chains.

Strutting to Jennifer Lopez’s “Get Right,” the first model Wednesday glittered in a gold corset bodysuit made of dangling gold chains. From there, golden links adorned everything from corsets to denim to printed fabric and even leggings.

The creative couple David and Phillipe Blond drew from the early days of not only their love story but their brand in their spring/summer collection unveiled on the closing day of New York Fashion Week. Their show delivered their high-octane opulence with bedazzled jumpsuits, slinky evening gowns and glittery chunky heeled boots.

“Phillipe and I used to go out all the time and we totally fell in love with dance music,” David Blond said. “And the music of that time really meant something to us as like a special place in our heart.”
