Spanish designer Custo Dalmau went 3-D in his new fashion line, 'Tripolar', an eclectic spring-summer collection that made its premier at New York Fashion Week.
For Spring, Custo Dalmau played with shifting holograms, creating 3-D prints on garments that, when sold, will come with their very own pair of high-tech 3-D specs.
Over 30 years, Dalmau has carved himself a niche and done what he intended: created a contemporary language all his own.
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.
For men, the engorged knits — Dalmau called them "three-dimensional" — took the form of bulky sweaters, which, off the runway and on the rack, could have a punky afterlife.
