# Retro Sequin Gowns David and Phillipe Blond Spring 2009 Collection By Elsa Blaine | Published 2008-10-12 | Fashion Source: Trend Hunter, https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/glitzy-blond-fashions-the-blonds-collection-for-spring-2009 References: [content.coutorture](http://content.coutorture.com/1979736) & [myspace](http://www.myspace.com/phillipeanddavidblond) David and Phillipe Blond's Spring 2009 collection reflects the sparkle and glitz of the New York City nightclubs. There was little boring black on this runway, fashions were comprised mostly of bright colors, [shine and sequins](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/rendezvous-ivory). The models, who [all looked like Barbie](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/barbie-x-azazie), strutted out in platinum blond wigs and [metallic pumps](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/karintha-sequin). There was a flashy array of cherry-red, purple and silver fabrics as well as a nod to showgirl style in a pink feathered outfit. The Blonds are all about glam. The duo has worked on the M.A.C. Viva Glam campaign with Fergie. Be sure to take a close look at the darling in the silver starry mini dress--it's Phillipe, and he rocks the runway, check out the end of the video! ## Trend Insights (Trend Hunter) - Score: 5.0/10 - Popularity: 90% | Activity: 53% | Freshness: 8% - Audience gender: 10% men, 90% women - Primary generations: Millennial, Gen X - Top markets: North America, Europe ## Categories [Trend Hunter](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends) > [Fashion](https://www.trendhunter.com/fashion) ## Key Themes ### What Makes This Trend Stand Out - **Sequin Fashion:** Opportunity for designers and retailers to incorporate sequins and sparkle into modern fashion. - **Colorful Style:** Opportunity to move away from traditional black clothing and incorporate bright colors into fashion design. - **Showgirl Glam:** Opportunity for brands to explore showgirl-inspired styles and incorporate feathers and other dramatic elements into modern fashion. ### Sectors Adopting This - **Fashion:** Opportunity for fashion designers to incorporate sequins, bright colors and showgirl-inspired style into their designs to create unique and eye-catching fashion pieces. - **Retail:** Opportunity for retailers to market and sell sequin and colorful fashion pieces as the trend rises in popularity. - **Entertainment:** Opportunity to incorporate showgirl-inspired style and fashion into performances and shows to create a dramatic and glamorous experience for audiences. ## Related on Trend Hunter - [Inclusive Prom Dress Collections](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/prom-collection.md) - [Modern High-Fashion Dresses](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/terani-couture.md) - [Doll-Inspired Evening Wear](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/azazie-4.md) - [Iconic Doll-Inspired Formalwear](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/barbie-x-azazie.md) - [Holiday-Inspired Evening Wear Campaigns](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/mcqueen-holiday-2025.md) - [Sequin-Adorned Vibrant Footwear](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/karintha-sequin.md) - [Whimsical Spring Apparel](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/Anna-Suis-SpringSummer-2025.md) - [Retro-Themed Metallic Homeware](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/rabanne-hm-home.md) - [Disco-Glamour Beauty Collections](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/rendezvous-ivory.md)
