New Biographies
IAIOS is a project that reflects on old age and breaks the stereotypes of older people. We see the yayos and yayas as active, innovative and stylish people. They inspire us in our designs that recover "grandfather's" sweaters for the young public.
Each jersey tells the story of an older person
Most of our designs are inspired by the history and life of an elderly person. That's why, every time you buy an IAIOS jersey, we give you a printed biography of a yayo or yaya. Their lives, adventures and peculiarities.
You can download our digital edition with all the biographies below
WHY DON'T YOUNG PEOPLE DO OLD OLD THINGS?
IAIOS recovers the traditional jersey; the one that was made to last many years. A sweater that is loved and cared for, just as our great-grandfather Amadeu taught us.
