JIL SANDER

According to the designer, this collection is 'an abstraction of nature'. Colours like sunflower yellow, sky blue and cloud grey were taken away from their visual context and blocked into minimal tailoring. There were retro references in there, like the safari suit, but Simons is clever to disguise his references as he does not want the collection 'to be antique'. Use of jersey gave an ease, and tiny triangular and circular shaped perforations in suede and shirtings gave a lightness.
