Gusto Custo

For Custo Barcelona’s (www.custo-barcelona.com) spring ready to wear 2012 collection he not only executed it well but created 3D fabric.  One of his groups was called “Mirame” (Spanish for “look at me”) which with a pair of 3D glasses you could see the 3D fabric that made up beautiful long psychedelic motif dresses.  His highly colorful and patterned collections continued with another group he called “Dual”.  It had androgynous looks and both male and female models walked beside one another down the runway in similar pieces.  As I saw the minute differences they really resounded with me because these examples are on everyday people in the streets such as in groups of friends, couples and work uniforms.  They wear the same pieces essentially and then add feminine or masculine touches which is exactly what Custo mastered.
