Custo Barcelona Fall 2012 Collection


The Fall 2012 Custo Barcelona collection was entitled “Raw Vision.” The color palette used in the line were signifying elements of nature and life, the black was unity, brown was earth, green was nature, red was love, and white stood for purity. The difference in this Custo Barcelona collection was definitely the defining use of color. Wool looped knitted sweaters dominated the runway in dresses, tops and shawls. Metallic finished fabrics were also heavily used in all elements of the design.




One consistent aspect of the collection was patchwork in blazers and slacks in the menswear line. The entire homme line incorporated fascinating graphic prints, two tone details, and unconventional silhouettes making the men’s suit thoughtful again. The women’s collection seemed reminiscent of the South American Andes, the lush knitwear and knee high open toe fringe boots made me think of snow capped mountains. One stunning ebony metallic finished jacket with an ivory fur collar and cuffs was designed to perfection offering a new approach to chic outerwear. Custo Barcelona offers a distinct perspective on 2012 fall fashion making its mark upon us.
