Jil Sander SHOES

Former head designers for Raf Simons’ Dior and Supreme, respectively, Lucie and Luke Meier took the helm of German designer Jil Sander’s namesake label for Spring/Summer 2018. The husband-and-wife duo brings a refreshing emotionality to the brand’s womenswear line, lending sensitivity and soulfulness to Sander’s rigorously minimalist aesthetic. The pair’s intimate designs find a pristine balance between dualities: tradition and innovation, masculine and feminine, sensuality and asceticism. Uniting refinement and functionality, idiosyncratic iterations of wardrobe staples—the white poplin shirt or the slim wool trouser—uphold the label’s legacy of quality and craftsmanship while advancing a novel approach to modern tailoring. Graceful volumes and luxe cashmere knits lend lightness to precise suiting and architectural silhouettes, with oversized shirtdresses exuding a casual elegance. Exquisitely crafted leather shoes and handbags round of Jil Sander’s selection of serene women’s separates.
