#### ** Description:**

This isn’t your average Y2K tee—it’s Custo at their maximalist peak. Featuring a
surreal turquoise rooster across the chest and fish-scale graphic sleeves, this 
late-1990s piece by Custo Barcelona is cut from soft cotton and finished with metal
grommet detailing around the neckline. One of those rare silhouettes that walks 
the line between art school cool and streetwear instinct. A true collector’s find
from the early days of Custo’s rise to cult status.

raw denim and ballet flats for a ‘quiet weirdness’ look that would make Susie Bubble
proud. Also ideal under a leather moto jacket for a collision of textures and timelines.
