Counting Down to 2010 with Jan iú Més

Jan Zamora Royo and Alfonso Peña Carreras are the amazing designers behind the label Jan iú Més, which is situated in Barcelona.

The two Catalan designers approach contemporary fashion through a unique restrained aesthetic, which begins with rigid silhouettes.

They then continue with a rational, mathematical view of styles, which is reflected in austere abstract forms.

Here’s a look at the Jan iú Més 2010 s/s collection! Let the countdown begin!

Jan iú Més Prepares Us for Cold Times Ahead

Imagine walking through a city of 5 million inhabitants that are bustling about modernist architecture, located on the Mediterranean coast and between two rivers—all graced with 68 parks and 7 beaches. Welcome to Barcelona, Spain!

Now, turn your attention to a hostile terrain, high up in the desolate mountains of the freezing-cold arctic where you are lost at night and your survival depends on the warmth of thick woolly fabrics that envelop you. Welcome to the 2009 a/w collection of Jan iú Més in Barcelona!

Designers Joan Zamora Royo and Alfonso Peña Carreras embraced a dark color palette for this fall and winter in preparation for the tough times ahead.
