This February during NYFW A/W 2019, designer duo Phillipe and David Blond, transported their guests to a world of eccentric glamour. The show, inspired by iconic gangster films, opened with Phillipe Blond wearing a dazzling oversized, faux fur ivory coat, lined with metallic-gold. The collection, “THE WORLD IS BLOND,” showcased the duo’s addiction and obsession with everything gold and that screams luxury. The mostly-Millennial-crowd took the show in as if in a drug-induced haze, one that culminated in a wild frenzy when Lil’ Kim appeared on the runway for a surprise performance of her new song, “Go Awff,” and her classic, “The Jump Off.”
The guests consisted of not only Hollywood stars such as Billy Porter, but also the who is who of today’s social media public figures all dressed in the designers’ captivating designs. Models including Paris Hilton, Mj Rodriguez, Karrueche Tran, Aquaria, Lion Babe and The Clermont Twins were embellished in astonishing luxe looks highlighting rich jewel tones combined with beautiful tiger prints and gold accessories. They paced down the runway not only once, but twice, to powerful music and lights, as mesmerizing jungle animals, commanding the attention and stupor of their audience. After the models stationed themselves at the top of the runway, the music changed, and the crowd went wild with the appearance of Lil’ Kim. – GM
