Custo Barcelona has come a long way since his printed tops a few years ago…showing both a female and male collection of fringe and over-exaggerated print, I am definitely having a hard time imagining these pieces off the runway. An almost unwearable collection, the models don’t even seem excited about wearing the garments, which is never a good sign!
