"Flared, swirling mini skirts reinvented from the days of studio 54, mixed with looks reminiscent of Bond girls. Aprs-ski in short fur coats, baby parkas and bold legging," Custo Barcelona exclaimed while describing his new collection. The talented Spanish designer's New York flavored show featuring big names like Alek Wek, Tiuu and

Ujwalla wearing bold lace print coats, retro geometric shape body suits, fun mini bomber jackets and dazzling gold pants was one of the highlights of Mercedes-Benz Fashion Week LA. Combining his Latin flare with an Andy Warhol sensibility Mr. Barcelona created truly distinct, utterly chic urban wear. Posh club goers and metropolis hipsters will find ample use for Custo's bolero knits, blouson tops and red pumps. Expect to see these exceptional looks at Lot 61 and Bungalow 8 this fall.
