The "The Blonds x Moulin Rouge!" fashion show
shook an already excited audience with an in-keeping eclectic
mix of fabrics, songs from the original Moulin Rouge musical and
a performance by "Pose" star Billy Porter.
The Blonds, according to the brand's official website, "are
known for creating collections that are glamorously over the top
with a rebellious twist that cater to the entertainment
industry."
On Monday, at the Al Hirschfeld Theatre in midtown Manhattan,
models including Paris Hilton, who has walked in previous shows,
Halima and Gigi Gorgeous brought the designer duo's spring 2020
collection to life, wearing bejeweled, leopard and lace
bodysuits and catsuits and sparkly headpieces.
The New York City-based brand was co-founded by designer
Phillipe Blond and creative director David Blond in 2007.
Beyonce, Madonna, Nicki Minaj and Miley Cyrus are among the many
celebrities who have collaborated with the Blonds brand.
In recent years, designers have increasingly programmed their
shows away from the runway. On Sunday, American designer Tommy
Hilfiger unveiled his latest ready-to-wear looks in a
collaboration with actress Zendaya at the Apollo Theater in
Harlem.
On Tuesday, Barbadian singer Rihanna is expected to stage her
"Savage x Fenty" show at the Barclays Center in Brooklyn.
New York Fashion Week's five-day schedule, which previously ran
for a full week, was streamlined to give buyers and editors more
time to attend London Fashion Week, which follows directly after
the New York event ends on Wednesday.
