“We try to create a universe based on sensations, mixing colors, graphics and materials, exploring the smallest details to the maximum.” – Custo Dalmau
Custo Barcelona is a brand known for its amazing prints and eclectic designs. Trends aren’t as important as making a statement when it comes to the collections and truly owning pieces that are unlike anything else in your wardrobe. The Spring 2012 collection is named “Gabonga” and will include everything Custo is known for, as well as new design endeavors including swimwear and trenchcoats.
Femininity will be on full display in a variety of silhouettes including dresses crafted from flowy silk chiffon and form-fitting bodycon pieces. The palette of the collection will feature Custo’s signature brights, in eye-popping shades including coral, apple green and aquamarine and metallics will also be presented. Bold prints will range from zig zags to patchwork, mixing patterns like Custo does so well.
From the sketch above, it looks like the collection will be flirty, feminine and wearable, with some of the dresses even being a possibility for the red carpet. I cannot wait to see the collection!
Custo Barcelona’s “Gabonga” Spring 2012 collection debuts on September 11th at New York Fashion Week at the tents at Lincoln Center. Visit www.custobarcelona.com for more information.
