NYFW Runway Review: The Blonds

The final show I attended of NYFW was the loudest as Milk Studios was overtaken by the downtown cool kids strutting their most outrageous outfits.  Before the show even began I saw Spike Hair, furry monster get-up, angel wings and one topless bathing suit paired with tassle  pasties.  Celebs like Stacy London, Nigel Barker, Miss J Alexander, Jay Manuel, Robert Verdi were enjoying themselves and posing for photos as everyone strutted their best stuff. The energy and over the top exuberance had me not knowing where to look and I scarcely noticed the electric motorcycle on the runway that was deeply connected to the theme of the show.  Right before the show began there was a sudden flurry of activity as Lil Kim made her way into the room.

NYFW: The Blonds Spring 2012

The Blonds was the final show of my NYFW itinerary.  Although, I took things at a bit of a more relaxed pace this season coming back from Sweden and hitting the ground running had me a little weary.  This was a show that would lift my spirits and  make me remember that fashion should be fun.  As I walked into the crowded room at Center 548, it was alive and buzzing with energy.  All of the downtown club kids have made it and each of them wearing a more outrageous outfit than the next.  Soon the woman in the front row with a spire of hair and a Beyoncé-esque gold dress actually became ordinary looking as a woman waltzed in an outfit that looked barely more concealing than lingerie with a man that had a gun in his hair with shrunken head attached or the fabulous fellow with crinoline and light up Paris head piece or gold toga and finger waved hair entered the room. Everyone present was dressed to impress, stun and electrify your senses.  Celebs like Patricia Field, Robert Verdi, Miss J Alexander and Johnny Weir were among the attendees.
