The Highlight of NYC Fashion Week: The Blonds

Truly, The Blonds are the only thing I am looking forward to this Fashion Week. I am so stoked to see what tricks they have up their sleeves this time around. Unlike the Michael Kors and Burberry's of the world, you will not be seeing any Khaki pants and earth toned turtle necks walking down the runway trying to pass as fierce and new. Every time they throw a show, that is exactly what it is... A SHOW! No dull moments, no front row spectators checking their twitters, no time to even blink. From the second the first flawlessly styled model steps out onto the narrow strip of ground your eyes are glued to the theatrics moving down the runway. You may not have ever heard of The Blond's, but I am willing to bet my life that you have seen their works of art being worn by today's most recognized celebrities. Heavy hitters like Lady Gaga, Nicki Minaj, Kylie Minogue, Katy Perry, Rhianna, Kim Cattrall and SJP in the Sex and The City 2 movie, Lil' Kim, Amber Rose, Dita Von Teese, Paris Hilton, Fergie, Britney Spears, Miss Piggy and so many more, but I have to stop because my  ring finger is starting to cramp from all the Shift capitalization of typing all these famous names. They have won over the fashion world with their highly decorated, signature corsets covered in spikes, metals, rhinestones, over sized glass diamonds, Hello Kitty stuffed animal, pearls, chains, chain maille, mirrored  glass, and of course my favorite, furs. Words can not describe the respect I feel for these men and their works. In my mind, they truly surpass any other designer or fashion house showing any collections, in any Fashion Week around the world. The Blond's are the greatest thing to happen to the fashion industry since the invention of the corset or the heel.
