wo Spanish born brothers and a motorcycle trip around the world, spawned a brilliant vision to create an alluring, exclusive, exotic brand with silk screen graphic prints and California surfer influence. What started as a small T-shirt company, roughly thirty years ago, has exploded into full men and women’s fashion collections, haute accessories, handbags and a fragrance line. As I entered the designers studio in Soho, filled with perfect light, vast hardwood floors and racks of vibrant garments; Custo Dalmau and his team of stylists, hairdressers, interns and assistants were scrambling around assembling the first look lineup boards, testing hair and makeup, interviewing models, snapping Polaroid’s and pinning jagged hemlines. There was a frenzy of excitement as preparations for the Fall/Winter 2010 runway show in New York was underway.

The fantasy prints were a multi-tonal optical illusion guaranteed to capture your attention. The textile design construction and layered elements of the garments was extraordinary. The collection included woven skirts with slashes of silver fur, cobalt blue leathers, shag knits, exorbitant beading, electric green feathers and swirls of graffiti color. Backstage at the tents was packed with photographers, journalists, makeup artists, hair stylists and models pumped up for the show. Supermodels Tanya Dziahileva (Marilyn Agency) and Eugenia Mandzhieva (Trump / Why Not) both stood out among the assemblage with distinctive looks and flirty attitudes. Maybelline created a copper toned look for the lids, little to no mascara, rosy cheeks, lips were a glossy pale pink and to create an illuminating look.

Custo Barcelona
Custo Barcelona Final look, last minute additions are made, shoes are lined up, lights on, music cued and the girls are ready. No virtual runway or online screened projection necessary, this show was an in your face, vivid explosion of sensational colors and optical illusions. Leisure suits for men, bold fur neck warmers, sexy mini skirts, bulky sweaters and slick pleather leathers were some of the styles that came to life. Another successful show and a great finale for the tents at Bryant Park, now moving to the new Lincoln Center venue and Custo Dalmau was excited to explore the possibilities. The Custo Barcelona brand continues to reach new heights experimenting with designer Perrier bottles, Motorola phones, a custom Harley Davidson motorcycle and custom regatta sails. Delving into the exterior design field, Custo Barcelona was recently commissioned by the government to design all the subway stations in Barcelona, Spain. We look forward to more from this designer in the years ahead.ยง

Sasha Devine
I
am 20 years old and come from a large family with a mix of nationalities: Polish, Puerto Rican, and Salvadorian. I have been performing since the age of four, whether it be modeling, dancing or acting. Performing has been my whole life. I learned early on that I loved the camera, and that modeling was what I wanted to do. I have always found an outlet for my passion, whether it be modeling on the catwalk, acting on stage, or dancing on stage. In the past two years I have followed my dream of becoming a model and so far it has been wonderful. I have worked with outstanding photographers and I have met a lot of amazing people on my journey, but my journey is not over, I still have a lot to accomplish and I’m having the best time getting there. I am currently working with Sisa Fashion Designs as one of her top models, which is keeping me very busy with runway shows and print work for her 2010 collection. I am also working with Planetshoes.com, modeling their summer shoe collection on their current website. It is a very exciting time for me and I’m enjoying every minute of it. §
