It is difficult to come up with a word that would define Custo Barcelona's clothing. The term "t-shirt" is insufficient and does them little justice, for it does not express or reflect the exuberant display of imagination and fantasy that can be found in Custo Barcelona clothing designs. Custo Barcelona is known for their exquisitely designed men’s shirts, women’s dresses and tanks and blouses. Custo Barcelona clothing was created in the early 1980's by the Dalmau brothers, Custo and David, upon their return from an extensive trip that took them around the world. Throughout their journey they discovered not only new landscapes but also the most diverse manifestations of art, culture and philosophy. One of the most surprising things they encountered was the Californian lifestyle, expressed in the look of the surfers living in the southern part of the state, as well as the traditional psychodelia in the north. They were also impressed by the colorful and innovative clothing fashion they found there, and particularly a style of t-shirt that did not exist in Spain at that time.

Using this base as their point of departure, the Custo Barcelona clothing brand was launched. The Dalmau brothers set to work learning all they could about the techniques of screen printing and its finishings, although particular attention was given to the area of graphic design. Custo Barcelona continued to evolve its designs for their apparel and increased the quality of its production. Over time, the use of color combinations and printed patterns grew in innovation, boldness and sophistication. In latest collections for Custo Barcelona, men and women coats have been included, constructing a complete clothing collection. It can now be said that Custo Barcelona exists as a style in itself, which, to a certain degree, suggests a particular way of looking at life.

Custo Barcelona has had undeniable success with their clothing, which been recognized not just by the public who buys the clothes but by the fashion professionals as well as the communication media. Custo Barcelona apparel has been honored to received multiple awards.
