Ursula, Maleficent and Cruella de Vil on The Blonds runway

“It just gave us license to have a lot more fun,” David said.

Phillipe agreed: “Yeah, it gave us a lot of creative license. Our shows are theatrical already.”

Guests were eating it up.

“I love that they have no limits,” said “13 Reasons Why” actress Ajiona Alexus. “I love that they always push it over the edge and do what they really feel. I’m all about colour, expressing yourself, and I think that’s what fashion is about, especially for me, so I love that they’re just different and they really push the boundaries.”

Barron Hilton and new wife, Tessa, were on board. He and sister Paris have attended shows by The Blonds in the past.

“I’ve been here with Paris before and there’s always like the craziest stuff, and I love it. It’s like art,” Barron said.

Tessa added: “The outfits, definitely. It’s a live walking art show.”

Also on the runway was model Shaun Ross, YouTuber Patrick Starrr (that’s not a typo) and 10-year-old drag kid Desmond Napoles, the creator of the first drag club for children.

David Blond said he and Phillipe had been inspired by Disney villains since they were both children.

“Plus they have the coolest wardrobe, you know,” said Phillipe. “The Villains. The Blonds. Like, how perfect is that?”

So who are their favourite Disney villains?

“My favourite’s Maleficent, I think. Or Cruella. One of those two, or both, I guess,” Phillipe said.

“I think you’re a combination of both,” David added.

For Patrick Starrr, getting to play Ursula, was “beyond my wildest dreams.”
