a y2k custo barcelona wrap skirt in dark indigo cotton denim, made in thailand, printed with the label's playful "fax" love-note graphic: a mock urgent fax that reads "to: alice, from: tom, i just call to say i love you" set inside an ornate oval frame of scrolls, flowers, and trailing vines. the print is dotted with real metal snap studs, and the skirt wraps to a side closure with a slit and bright contrast topstitching over a white cotton gauze lining. custo barcelona was founded in the 1980s by brothers custo and david dalmau, who built the house on bold, graphic, print-driven clothing and became a new york fashion week regular through the late 1990s and 2000s, when their pieces turned up on friends and across pop culture. this skirt sits right in that signature territory, a wearable canvas for one of the label's tongue-in-cheek narrative prints.
please note: the metal snap studs and the side-wrap closure are part of the original design, and the denim carries a light, even vintage softness.
