Custo Barcelona has a long history of color and excitement but has been absent from the fifth floor for some time. Seeing Custo’s wild prints, mixed with texture and fringe was thrilling. The off the runway looks might be a bit too extravagant for some shoppers but we home to see these looks translated at our local stores this spring.
