About Custo Barcelona
Custo Barcelona was created at the start of the 80s by the Dalmau brothers, Custo and David, following a long journey which took them around the world. On their way they discovered not only new horizons but also a huge swathe of artistic, cultural and philosophical influences.
One of the elements that most attracted their attention was the style in California, expressed in the look of the surfers living to the south of the State, as well as the psychodelia of the northern part. The innovative fashion - full of color - that they found there impressed them, especially a style of T-shirts that did not exist in Spain at that point.
Using this as a starting-point, the brand was launched under the name of Custo Line. The Dalmau brothers began to work learning as much as possible about printing techniques and their finishes, placing particular attention on the area of graphic design, with which they felt particularly comfortable. Over time, research into the use of color and prints turned predominantly innovative, bold and sophisticated.
Custo Barcelona could currently be claimed to exist as a style in itself which to a certain extent suggests a particular way of viewing life. A lifestyle that is expressed in collections for women and men.

Collection lines
Custo Barcelona presents its new FW26 collection entitled WE OWN THE LIGHT, a proposal that champions light as a symbol of energy, identity and creative force.
The looks for the show, faithful to the brand's DNA, explore architectural sensuality, colour contrasts and experimental textures, consolidating an aesthetic that fuses avant-garde, craftsmanship and attitude.
The collection is articulated through pieces that dialogue between transparency and opacity, championing light as a raw material for design.
Among the standout looks are mini dresses with plumeti tulle and iridescent details that evoke a moving sky, with puffed sleeves and fluid draping that create a powerful and ethereal silhouette.
Another noteworthy element of the show are the dresses that showcase the craftsmanship of layers, lace and patchwork in a warm palette of ochres, pinks and golds, creating a visual narrative that fuses geometry and textile sensibility.
The looks play with the transparency and opacity of the fabrics, creating a play of light that encapsulates the essence of the collection.
‘WE OWN THE LIGHT’ proposes a woman who radiates confidence from her own inner light, using fashion as an amplifier of energy and personal expression.
Luminous textures, bold volumes and a palette that shifts between night and radiance construct a hypnotic visual universe that reaffirms Custo Barcelona as an international benchmark for bold and experimental design.
The brand once again demonstrates its mastery in blending innovation and craftsmanship, presenting a collection that not only dresses the body, but also illuminates the attitude.
This season, Custo Barcelona invites the world to celebrate its own brilliance and proclaim, without fear or limits: We Own the Light.
