Custo Barcelona Fall 2009 Runway Show Fall Fashion Week 2009 -An Advice Sisters Feature

* *text and photographs by Alison Blackman Dunham

Custo Barcelona's Fall 2009 collection featured a veritable Carnivale of color, a bit of Elvis, and a lot of fun, flirty and rock-star clothing for both men and women. Brothers Custo and David Dalmau joined forced in the early 80's. Their funky, California style includes their trademark printed tops, as well as other items of clothing, to male and female fans across the world.



Bright colors mixed in unusual fabrics, with embellishments, and textures from fabrics that included lurex and tinsel-tassel skirts made a lively statement, especially when worn with neon heels and shiny tights.



A number of shiny "Elvis" suits for the men, and pompadours for the women's hair, had a rockabilly vibe, mixed with street performers.

I love the "tiger-striped" suit on the left, and the slouchy, sexy mix of patterns on the right!

Custo Barcelona knows how to cater to their audience, who will applaud his use of color and creativity. The women's clothes are cute, the men's almost dizzying, but for the right person, these clothes are tailor-made! The outfits, worn as a whole, were a delight to see on the runway and made for a wonderful show. Individual pieces would be heaven-sent in the usually-dour Fall months for women and men who are confident and playful in their image --   and they also make for great photos!
