MBFW | Custo Barcelona Fall/Winter 2010

Elaborately pleasing to the eye, the Dalmau brothers of Custo Barcelona wows the crowd with they’re outlandishly clad garments. Unusually beautiful pieces were created and displayed for Barcelona’s 2010 fall collection. With such an imaginative and dramatic line, the key to success was in cohesiveness. The story was fast pace, vibrantly colorful and packed full of flamboyancy. Fabric and print collaborations brought versatility out of every piece. In all colors and techniques; fur trimming, fringing, feathering and beading were just a few of the applications used to pull off such a captivating show. The models wore these mesmeric mini-dresses paired with appetizing accessories, such as oversized duffel bags or fur lined booties. A grey frock with pink and blue vest detail, extensive beading applied around the hip and ruffling at the shoulder and waist adorned the runway with its splendor. Incredibly, with all this detail, the profound vision of beauty was not hidden. Men were clothed in suiting with fabrics ranging from patent-leather to velvet. Colors were used just as boldly for menswear as they were for women’s. Hot pinks, reds, metallics and grays painted beautiful masculine canvas for Barcelona. Fitted snake skin pants amid a gray sweater accented with patched-work fringe detail; brought a much needed aroma to men’s fashion. Since, we’ve seen so much of the clean cut boy next door look; it refreshed me to get a bit of novo edge. The uniqueness of Custo Barcelona proves tried and true, every season. Originality and creativity is what keeps this brand as mesmerizing as its last viewing.
