The Blonds Are Coming Back To New York Fashion Week—And Looking For Interns!

The Blonds are making a return to New York Fashion Week. While awaiting the release of February’s show schedule, we spotted a post on the brand’s Instagram calling for local, reliable NYFW interns with sewing skills, attention to detail, and a passion for design (if that’s you, reach out to contact@theblondsny.com!). Philippe and David Blond decamped to Los Angeles to show their Fall 2024 collection in November, which hit the runway at NYFW in February 2024—marking their upcoming show as a welcome return.

With past themes ranging from vampires to fairytales, themed custom Louboutins, and front row celeb cameos ranging from Paris Hilton to Cassie each season, they’re sure to have something memorable up their sleeves next month. The duo’s show is the latest update to NYFW’s February roster, which includes new collections from Calvin Klein, Derek Lam 10 Crosby, and New York Men’s Day.
