Custo Barcelona presented their new fall-winter 2011-2012 collection in an innovative show that surprised attendees.
Inspiration: With a clean slate as a starting point, the journey of this collection begins in the pure lines and neutral colors: a wide palette of beiges, ecrus and pale pinks. This is a new approach that conveys its highly sophisticated message through details.
The true Custo Barcelona essence inevitably emerges in an explosive way: colors, prints and graphics take over, splashing it all to create a colorful, graphic composition that goes from the minimum to the absolute.
The Look: Wool is the hero fabric, and all its textures are represented: felted wool, fringes, wool-based graphic jacquards, and open and distressed weaves are used to create an effect of light organza.
This collection is, therefore, a balanced mix of concepts that, as unexpected as it may seem, creates a perfect cocktail at the Custo Barcelona runway.
How to Rock It: Warm dresses, perfectly paired with graphic leggings and thick, voluminous sweaters for men, represent the key looks of the season.
This exercise of bold clashes of opposites is a winning bet at New York’s Mercedes-Benz Fashion Week.
