Jil Sander Fall/​Winter 2012 | Milan Fashion Week

Indus­trial Fash­ion–Reveal­ing a calig­i­nous col­lec­tion, fit and tex­ture made a strong state­ment for Jil Sander’s lat­est col­lec­tion. Turn­ing the under­stated into a show­stop­per, Jil Sander cre­ative direc­tor Raf Simons exe­cuted a range of his sig­na­ture sil­hou­ettes, treated in var­i­ous fab­ri­ca­tions for quite the arrest­ing points of inter­est. Con­strict­ing yet at the same time fluid, a sleek wardrobe came together with the allure of dan­ger and a cheeky side, con­tribut­ing to the collection’s com­plex­ity. From leather lunch bags and dinosaur adorned sweaters to volu­mi­nous coats, com­ple­mented by a won­der­ful elas­tic­ity, cre­at­ing a dra­matic shape, whether cinched or let out, fall’s range deliv­ered care­ful style in spades.
