Jan iú Més launched its Spring/Summer 2011 collection at Barcelona Fashion Week recently and its pieces were all about typically off-putting fashion shapes and colors. With multicolored butterfly-printed onesies for men and slouchy oversized suit jackets, Jan iú Més put fashion “don'ts†in their place.
The beautiful collection is filled with pastel hues and an overall futuristic vibe.
Implications - The Jan iú Més Spring/Summer 2011 collection had a lot of interesting fashion pieces to look at including gladiator-type sandals, skin-colored pants and rainbow-striped t-shirt. The onesies that the male models wore looked just like women's one piece bathing suits or gymnastic training outfits. Perhaps it will become a new everyday style for men?
