The Blonds – Fall 2012 – Crotch Rock It

For The Blonds, Fall 2012 is the season of the donor cycle. David Blond’s father is a motorcycle enthusiast, so the designers took that inspiration to create their first collection that includes designs specifically for men. The Blonds bring their signature va-va-vroom to menswear with leather jackets encrusted with jewels and trimmed in fur. The Blonds listened to their clients and created a line that gives the same rush as riding a bike on the open road. The menswear features “the richness of the layering of different cultures” with pieces in gold and silver graphic prints with a tribal re-imagining of chains and spikes.

The Blonds – Spring 2012 Review – Centerfold Chic

The Blonds and Playboy have collaborated on looks for the Playmate of The Year in the past, so it seems inevitable that David and Philippe Blond, a design team known for theme collections, would chose to form an alliance with Playboy to create complete collection inspired by the Playboy brand. The Blonds & Playboy both celebrate the hourglass figure so it is the perfect marriage. The first look seen at the The Blonds Spring 2012 show, modeled by Philippe, set the tone of the collection; the silk corset adorned with a over-sized Playboy cut-out by Max Steiner for The Blonds was quintessential Blond style, that certain bespangled glam with a punk edge.
