WORDS BY BRITTANY EPPS
David and Phillipe Blond, collectively known as The Blonds, have been turning the fashion industry into a naughty freak show since 2004, and we have no complaints. Phillipe started his design career as a M.A.C make-up artist, while David worked as a window dresser for stores like Macy’s and Sak’s Fifth Avenue. The Blonds are known for their bizarre, hand-made corsets with striking prints, flashy jewels and lengthy, razor-sharp spikes that are to die for—pun intended.

This clothing line is not for the faint of heart. It screams bedazzled Rock & Roll glam. It seems that The Blonds design clothes especially for alien creatures, or the freaks of fashion. Media-proclaimed fashion “bad girl” Rihanna has been spotted wearing the brand while lighting up the stage at her concerts and when steaming up the red carpet. Katy Perry, Adam Lambert and Fergie are also fans of the line.
The Blonds put on a sassy show at New York Fashion Week for their Fall 2010 Collection. “It’s A Jungle Out There” was the theme. A model in a gorilla suit started the show. The gorilla did a quirky strip tease and out popped Phillipe Blonds. True to form, all the models sported blond wigs and fierce compositions. The Blonds are a 25 favorite.
