From shimmering Preciosa crystals to the electric ambiance, The Blonds delivered an unforgettable ode to Latin vibrancy.
In the realm of Latin culture, the term “¡FUEGO!” serves as a powerful metaphor for the passionate and vibrant essence that defines the spirit of Latin people.
The Blonds collection is inspired by Latin icons of the past and present, including a stunning hair moment. Partnering with TRESemmé for an unforgettable show featuring five avant-garde hairstyles -custom created by Celebrity and TRESemme Hairstylist Lacy Redway- inspired by Latin icons — both past and present — these bold looks will complement the creative fashion both David and Phillipe Blond are known for.
“We’re thrilled to be partnering with TRESemmé,” The Blonds shared. “Hair is like art as I connect to fashion. It’s such an important piece when it comes to showcasing our work.
