Runway Radiance: The Blonds A/W 2025
A Futuristic Take on the Classic Showgirl
New York Fashion Week shimmered with unapologetic glamour this season as The Blonds unveiled their Autumn/Winter 2025 collection, a dazzling fusion of retro showgirl allure and futuristic fantasy. Known for their signature sparkle and theatrical storytelling, The Blonds reimagined old-Hollywood femininity through a space-age lens, creating a world where glamour meets innovation.
A Blade Runner Dream
Hair, led by Kien Hoang, Oribe’s Principal Artist of Global Design, played a starring role in bringing this futuristic vision to life. Inspired by 1950s rolled bangs with an otherworldly twist, the look nodded to vintage pin-up glam while feeling sleek, sculptural, and undeniably modern, think Blade Runner meets burlesque.
Each model exuded power, confidence, and a touch of mystery, the essence of The Blonds woman. “We wanted to take the classic showgirl and catapult her into the future,” Hoang explained, referencing the structured silhouettes and shimmering textures that defined the collection.
Get the Look: Futuristic Showgirl
For those inspired to channel their inner starlet, Kien Hoang’s backstage technique using Oribe Hair Care transforms everyday hair into runway drama:
- Prep: Apply Maximista Thickening Spray throughout damp hair to build volume and hold.
- Sculpt: Gather hair into a high, tight ponytail — sleek, polished, and secure.
- Set: Mist Superfine Strong Hair Spray at the base to lock it in place.
- Shape: Attach a molded form to each side of the head, then roll the ponytail forward around the form to sculpt a squared-off roll.
- Finish: Glide Curl Gelée for Shine & Definition over the surface for that signature mirror-like finish — futuristic shine with classic showgirl finesse.
The result? A statement look that celebrates femininity, boldness, and artistry — perfect for modern women unafraid to shine.
Backstage Beauty & Beyond
As always, The Blonds delivered not just a fashion moment, but a celebration of individuality and transformation — themes that resonate deeply with Beauty Hub’s vision of ageless, expressive beauty. The artistry, the shine, and the unapologetic glamour remind us that confidence is timeless — and a little sparkle never goes out of style.
