With Barcelona the epicenter of the brand, it's no surprise that the pieces are sultry, sexy and body-conscious. Although the brand's iconic, brightly colored silk-screened and pieced tops for both sexes are ready-to-wear, they look artistic and artisanal, as if they would be at home in the East Village.
"This collection is about the real world because it is a collection that coincides with the twentieth anniversary of showing here in New York. We are using a lot of black this season in order to show that we are facing a big change but also mixed with other colors and textures.
We are trying to do makeup that is quite natural in order not to compete with our clothes," Custo Dalmau, designer

After careers as both an editor and a freelance celebrity stylist, Zoe released her first line of '60s and '70s-inspired separates, footwear and handbags in 2011. In 2016 she will launch a collection of baby strollers and car seats in collaboration with Maxi-Cosi. The luxury, fashion-forward collection will be available at Nordstrom.
"This season I drew inspiration from the '30s and the '90s as opposed to only the '60s and '70s so there is a lot of silks and velvets and pearls and beads and lace. It's always for that confident woman that loves to dress up.
Hair and makeup is always very important for me, so this season I mixed it up and did a fishtail. I imagined that it was sort of lost in the hair and coming together as one. The makeup for me is a clean, fresh face and then a great Bordeaux, very stained lip. The attitude in this collection is very relaxed," Rachel Zoe, designer.
"I think this presentation is amazing. I love the versatility of the collections." Olivia Culpo, actress
