Clad in a Gorilla costume, Phillipe Blond uncorked the collection by creeping down the runway until, in step with the soundtrack, she shed the beast and stomped down the catwalk in a gold-studded mini dress. With that, the tone was set and extravagant creations flooded the runway, each look outdoing its forerunner with lavish fur boas, uber tight corsets and sparkling jewels. The designer duo of David and Phillipe clearly knows how to put on a show, and their collection is not for the timid or conservative kind. Fabric accented the ornate gems adorning waist-clasping girdles in honor of the sensual female form. Guests, too, paraded around the venue in confident attire – killer male legs rocked tight leather leggings and stilettos, threatening to upstage the hauntingly stylish females in the audience.
