The dazzling design team took a few moments to chat with us about their celebrity creations (which we pulled together in a gorgeous slideshow for you) and what it’s like to work with such incredible divas. Aspiring rock stars, take note: This is what you wear to be fabulous.
theFashionSpot: When you’re working with celebs, how involved are they in the design process?
David Blond: Very involved! Every client relationship, celeb or not, is a collaboration.
tFS: Do you keep your celeb clientele in mind while designing your RTW collection?
Phillipe Blond: We are influenced by so many mediums! Art, film, music all inspire us when creating a collection. So, we always have them in mind when their music is on blast in the studio.
tFS: You’ve done costumes for everyone from Madonna and Rihanna to Katy Perry and Beyoncé. What was a real high point for you?
DB: All of the above! Every moment with these clients is a high point and our most recent collaboration with Madonna for her “Living For Love” video, styled by B. Åkerlund, was amazing! We’re super excited for the Rebel Heart Tour!!!
tFS: Is there a particular favorite costume or look? (Hard to choose!)
PB: Most recently the Holy Mountain camo parka from our Fall 2015 collection! That was crazy cool and very different from anything we’ve done before. Giant 3-D camo paillettes!
tFS: Is it challenging to work with celebrities ever? Or do you find them to be equally creative?
DB: Every project is different and it is always interesting! The most challenging part of the job is typically the editing process.
tFS: You’ve become the go-to in the music world for incredible stage looks. Are you looking at all to break into RTW more heavily?
Both: Absolutely!! Stay tuned!!
tFS: What’s next for you guys? You have your own Barbie, you’re pretty much rock stars. What do you want to do now?
Both: We would definitely like to expand The Blonds’ brand and branch out into things like fragrance, cosmetics and RTW, of course. We want it all!
