BEAUTY: Clothing--Jil Sander

Jil Sander no longer heads her namesake house, but current Creative Directors Lucie and Luke Meier carry on her vision of puritanical minimalism. For this Paris Fashion Week Fall-Winter 2022-2023 collection though, they added in an element that challenges the austerity of the DNA of the house: crochet.

"We liked this really elegant, masculine silhouette, but with a sensual side to it, as well," Lucie Meier said after the show. Luke Meier added, "We start a lot with tailoring, just to see what we really want to do and say and what we care about. But this time, we worked it into typically feminine techniques as well."

I quite like the texture it adds as hats, scarves, collars and tabards, and the juxtaposition of spartan against granny-chic craft. I also like using twisted silk scarves as coat belts. And check out the constellation astrology prints and zodiac embroideries spread across the rest of the collection. It all feels interesting and fun...
