There wasn't a solid color in sight. Illuminated by the light of
a thousand camera phones (give or take) wielded by exuberant
audience members, Custo Barcelona's print-on-print-on-
multicolored-feathers party mix came stomping down the runway on
shoes that matched. Backstage, flanked by Kimora Lee Simmons in
a ginormous turquoise faux fur wrap, Custo Dalmau explained that
he wanted to juxtapose fantasy (say, a top made of looped
synthetic strips with fluttering wine-red sleeves) with reality
(a pair of denim micro-cutoffs). In their smackdown with the
real world, the fantasy-on-fantasy pairings grabbed the upper
hand more often than not, and the rainbow-dipped feathers flew.
But you expect Custo's Ibiza-bound, private-jet-setting customer
to have her head in the clouds, don't you?
