NEW YORK, Sep 18, 2005/ FW/ --- So that you will have an idea how popular Custo Barcelona is, the line to check in for his show last Thursday was very long and inside the venue, it was literally SRO.

The mayhem on getting inside The Plaza and the trouble of finding our assigned seats was instantly forgiven with Custo Dalmau sending a refreshing and colorful collection that more than justify his popularity.

Opting for color blocks this season instead of his legendary prints, Custo Dalmau chose the golden colors of the tropics for the cute mini dresses and bikini tops, bandeau and halter blouses – all screaming ‘It’s summertime!’

Stripes to spirals, chunks of color randomly arranged, yet very attractive, camouflage prints that is as far from being military as it could, make up this delicious collection of day dresses and pantsuits that make you wish that they are already available in stores.

Sexy bustiers, in the soft colors of spring that also come in the bold shades of summer garnered applause from a very appreciative audience who seem to love everything that they see on the runway.

The brand Custo Barcelona started during the 1980s based on the surfer’s culture of Southern California. From its grass roots beginnings, it has in less than two decades become a pop culture icon!

And everyone inside The Plaza, whether seated or standing, plus those who cannot get in and had to watch the show from the video monitors inside the tents will agree.
