PROFILE

Juan Duyos started work with designer Manuel Piña in 1992, whilst creating his own early collections for a number of stores and friends. In 1995 he set up Duyos & Paniagua with designer Cecilia Paniagua. Between 1996 and 1999, he went on to work with Antonio Pernas, creating his own knitwear collections in parallel.

The Duyos & Paniagua Cibeles Catwalk debut came in 1997, with the 1998 summer collection Naturama. In 1998 the British Embassy invited Duyos & Paniagua to present the collection at London Fashion Week.

The first collection under the Duyos brand name was launched in 1999. Called Recuerda y guarda (Remember and Keep), it received the L'Oréal Award for best collection in show at Cibeles. Since then, the firm has been a constant presence at the Madrid fashion event.

Juan Duyos has also been involved in a series of projects that have taken him into other areas of design. In April 2000 he presented costume designs for Amargo a production staged by the Rafael Amargo flamenco ballet company. He has also taken part in an itinerant exhibition featuring 12 outfits, organised by the Cervantes Institute, which has travelled to Tokyo, Beijing and Istanbul.

In 2005 he launched the eyewear line Duyos Vista and in 2006, his second fashion line Fande Duyos and the bag collection Duyos+Broch&Broch.

In 2007, he presented his first bridal collection with Novissima at the Puerta de Europa bridalwear show. A year later, he took part in Barcelona Bridal Week with his first collection for grooms, in partnership with Miquel Suay. His bridal collections have also featured at Cibeles Madrid Brides.

In 2009 he presented summer collection “Tiki” at NY Fashion Week at the Public Library and is a member of the 4EYES NY project.

As part of the Special K + Duyos project, Juan Duyos launched a collection of five denim designs to enhance five kinds of silhouettes in 2010.

The Juan Duyos universe, not without its irony, stands out for its colour richness. He draws inspiration from natural landscapes and skilfully balances straight, clean-cut lines with millimetric draping.
