If David Bowie had been a biker, he would have adorned himself in everything from The Blonds AW12 collection. Highly eccentric and partially punk, the ensembles are full of badass attitude. The collection juxtaposes [classic leather jackets](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/kiko-kostadinov-x-fox-lab) with loud fur embellishments and cascading silver necklaces. While the men look like rock stars, the women have a dominatrix vibe going on. All they need are some whips and handcuffs alongside the thigh-high boots and studded accents to complete the risque theme.

With the 'TRON: Legacy' lightcycle in the backdrop, the The Blonds AW12 collection is given a [futuristic vibe](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/the-future-is-not-set). Nevertheless, it is more befitting of the dystopian future depicted in the 'Mad Max' films than the 'TRON' ones. Gritty and dark, the collection boasts a glamorous aesthetic that gives the [classic biker looks](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/neighborhood-x-palace) a welcomed twist.
