An explosion of color dominated the Custo Barcelona S/S 2012 Runway Show. The collection presented was titled “TRIPOLAR” because it was truly 3 distinct collections in 1. All of which exemplified the Custo Barcelona style of in-your-face prints, sleek silhouettes with an edgy European flair.
The first group is called DUAL and offers androgynous casual looks that are can be unisex. This look is dominated by contemporary graphic that that feature both muted colors in bold patterns. The palette includes greys, beiges, blues, khakis and blacks, designed and made with natural raw materials such as linen, cotton and silk; and synthetic fabrics with metal and mirror embellishments.
The second group is called KALEIDOSCOPIO. These looks feature patchwork fapricks inspred by the kaleidoscope that come together for dazzling displays on swimsuits cocktail dresses, shorts, jackets and swimwear.
The third and last group is named MÍRAME. These night time looks go straight from the runway to the rock concert to the disco in an explosion of color. It includes pieces of graphics inspired by the feminine fashion universe, created with 3-D technique. A stand-out look of a metallic cocktail dress in bronze would be perfect for a Grammy Red Carpet. Swimwear, made of silk and linen combined with nylon, achieve 3-D effects. The colors burst in purple, turquoise, pink, orange and grey.
The 900+ standing room only crowd included fans of the brand like Matthew Settle from Gossip Girl, Carrie Preston from True Blood, Miss Jay Alexander from America’s Next Top Model and the Spanish super model Almudena Fernandez. -Sia-Alika Battle
