Custo Dalmau- Custo Barcelona






I just found out about this designer a few months ago lol. I loved the designs I saw in some pics. I would love to get my hands on this jacket and this suit.






The Custo Barcelona fashion empire was created in the 1980s after the brothers Custo (pictured) and David Dalmau (born in Lleida Catalonia) went on a round-the-world motorcycle trip. Throughout their journey they discovered not only new landscapes but also the most diverse manifestations of art, culture and philosophy. One of the most surprising things they encountered was the Californian lifestyle, expressed in the look of the surfers living in the southern part of the state, as well as the traditional psychedelic in the north. They were also impressed by the colorful and innovative clothing fashion they found there, and particularly a style of t-shirt that did not exist in Spain at that time.
That was the beginning of the story: Custo-Barcelona has been producing this exceptional line of fashion for 20 years, combining the best quality screen-printing with textiles and designs that are superbly original. Since its introduction to the United States, the demand for Custo-Barcelona has skyrocketed! It has become a favorite in Hollywood featured on "Friends" and MTV. It has been worn on the big screen by such stars as Julia Roberts in "Runaway Bride" and Natalie Portman in "Anywhere But Here." In addition, musicians such as: The Dixie Chicks, Sarah McLachlan and LeAnn Rimes have been regularly spotted in Custo. Unique and innovative, Custo-Barcelona aspires to make women feel truly special in what they wear. Custo-Barcelona leads the way to a new fashion frontier; they truly stand out with an individual voice that has yet to be equaled.
