Ready To Wear - Spring/Summer 2012 - New York – Tuesday, September 13, 2011

Custo Barcelona – Spring/Summer 2012 – Ready to Wear











































































I have loved and collected Custo since the age of 12… from the first time I bought an extravagantly coloured jacket I have adored the fact that there isn't ever a solid color in sight... in any Custo collection and this season’s S/S RTW is no exception. Illuminated by the light of thousands of iphone cameras that captured the collection by the lively audience members, Custo Barcelona's print-on-print-on-multicolored-feathers party mix stomped down the runway on shoes that matched.
Backstage, flanked by Kimora Lee Simmons in a turquoise faux fur wrap, Custo Dalmau explained to vogue that he wanted to put side by side fantasy with reality and the crazy with the beautiful. In their wrestle with the real world, the fantasy-on-fantasy pairings came together perfectly more often than not.
Initial pairings were striking and the shiny fluro combinations were perfect Custo for the jet setter Ibiza bound club hopper but somehow even a conservative type like me would wear these pieces. The sleek hair and simple make up were perfect against the strong clothing but the porthole glasses aren’t a favourite of mine…
The combination of male and female models was BEYOND PERFECT! The sequin skirts, glomesh dresses and sleek sexy lines were BEYOND PERFECT CUSTO!
