The Label: Founded in
Hamburg in 1968, Jil Sander's first collection of all-white
uniforms was an anomaly in an age of color-crazed florals—and
sold out instantly. Since that day, her "pure" approach
has broken the hard rules of luxury fashion and beauty
while garnering a die-hard fan base of cerebral sensualists.
The Look: Understated sleek. Comfortable, impeccably
made suits and separates in high-tech fabrics.
The Designer Now: A true iconoclast, Sander actually
walked out on her house in 2000 after clashing with management
installed by her brand's owner, Patrizio Bertelli and
the Prada Group. After three years of clamor for her market
presence, Sander made amends with Bertelli and returned
in 2003.
The Designer Then: Milan Vukmirovic did a valiant
turn introducing younger-skewing pieces into the lines
during Sander's absence. |
