The layered looks in this line were topped off with [shaggy, engorged knits](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/arty-knitwear) and wild-child fur. Silk skirts were combined with rough and tumble texture, but the bright spot on this trendy look is that the colors aren't as vivid as the Custo signature. Instead, the Custo Barcelona Fall 2011 line opted for technicolor accents such as patches, playing on a loud, yet sophisticated look. ## Trend Insights (Trend Hunter) - Score: 5.0/10 - Popularity: 46% | Activity: 96% | Freshness: 8% - Audience gender: 50% men, 50% women - Primary generations: Millennial, Gen X - Top markets: South America, Europe ## Categories [Trend Hunter](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends) > [Luxury](https://www.trendhunter.com/luxury) > [Luxury Fashion](https://www.trendhunter.com/luxuryfashion) ## Key Themes ### What's Driving This Trend - **Patchwork Fashion:** Opportunity for designers to create bold, unique fashion pieces by incorporating patchwork into their designs. - **Technicolor Accents:** Opportunity for designers to experiment with bold, vibrant colors and incorporate them into their designs through technicolor accents and patches. - **Textured Fashion:** Opportunity for designers to combine different textures and fabrics to create unique, visually interesting fashion pieces. ### Who This Affects Most - **Fashion:** Opportunity for designers in the fashion industry to incorporate patchwork, technicolor accents, and textured fabrics into their clothing lines. - **Textile Manufacturing:** Opportunity for textile manufacturers to create and supply new materials that incorporate different textures and patterns, allowing fashion designers to create innovative clothing lines. - **Retail:** Opportunity for retailers to showcase bold, textured, and colorful collections to consumers looking for unique and expressive fashion. ## Related on Trend Hunter - [Experimental Fall Wardrobe](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/khaotique-noir.md) - [Pattern-Heavy Fashion Capsules](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/needles-new-collection.md) - [Pixelated Runway Displays](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/pixelated.md) - [Futuristic Fall-Centric Fashion](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/origins-collection.md) - [Modular Fall-Ready Layered Fashion](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/arcs-2.md) - [Statement-Making Fall Collections](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/auteur-studios-fall-2025.md) - [Fall-Centric Dynamic Fashion Capsules](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/undercover-5.md) - [Middle Eastern-Inspired Fall Fashion](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/act-ii-collection.md) - [Futuristic Statement Fashion](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/the-future-is-not-set.md)
