THE BLONDS MADE A DAZZLING SPLASH AT MIAMI SWIM WEEK 2023
On Sunday, June 11th, The Blonds made their highly anticipated debut at Miami Swim Week with an unforgettable runway show at the Paraiso Tents. The event showcased the luxury apparel brand’s first resort wear collection, featuring a mix of glamour, playfulness, and rebellious spirit.
The star-studded affair attracted a diverse range of attendees, including Angeles Almuna, Kiki Barth, Patrick Church, Richa Sadana, Vishal Parvani, Trina, and many other fashion enthusiasts. The Blonds spared no expense in making this show a memorable experience for all.
The collection drew inspiration from the iconic film “Overboard,” starring Goldie Hawn, combined with the vibrant energy of 1990s Miami Beach and the colorful characters of the Teletubbies. The result was a unique blend of fantasy, fun, and magic in the sun. The Blonds transformed their resort wear pieces into statement-making ensembles that seamlessly transitioned from poolside chic to the hottest nightspots.
The Blonds, founded by designer Phillipe Blond and creative director David Blond, are renowned for their glamorous and over-the-top designs with a rebellious twist. Their collections cater to the entertainment industry and merge influences from music, film, and art. Each garment is meticulously handcrafted using a mix of textiles and embroidery, accentuating the beauty of the human form.
The runway show at Miami Swim Week was not the only highlight of The Blonds’ presence at Paraiso Swim Week. They also hosted a reception on Saturday at Queen, featuring cocktails by House of Suntory, to welcome guests to the event. Finally, they closed out the weekend with an after-party at The Miami Beach EDITION, ensuring that the celebrations continued long after the runway lights dimmed.
The show credits for The Blonds’ Miami Swim Week extravaganza included renowned hairstylist Sarah Lund for Kevin Murphy, makeup artist Claire Perez for New York Makeup Academy, and nails by Sally Hansen. The styling and music were masterfully curated by The Blonds themselves, while DJ Laz provided the energetic beats throughout the runway presentation.
