Slow is the title of the Spring / Summer 2016 collection that the firm Custo Barcelona has presented at New York Fashion Week.
According to the brand's creative director, Custo Dalmau, it is due to the time it has taken to make the pieces, something that has been reflected on the catwalk. The exquisite mix of fabrics such as guipure, jacquard or lamé with intricate lace, silk and cotton, have turned the garments into authentic handcrafted puzzles. "A return to quality and creativity" as stated by the designer himself.
Dresses, jackets, tunics, tops and bathing suits have paraded on the catwalk in a wide variety of colors, from cream tones to intense blues, through a wide range of greens and reds.

The backs of the jackets and tops are especially striking, with various openings that gave a sensual and elegant touch to the garments that contrasted with the amount of color.
