Jil Sander devotees are sharp suiters. Streamlined, clean concepts are always expected and for Fall designer Raf Simons delivered.
Understated yes, boring no. Really, when I viewed this collection it had a calming effect. Necklines were experimental: boatneck, draped, one shoulder and the house's signature turtleneck. Precise daywear in muted colors, with a splash of grape, white and what I call 'Jil Sander cobalt blue,' were starkly beautiful. The top and skirt sets weren't anything special but the coats and finale dresses sure were. Particularly, a black slim cocooned cape and white one shoulder dress. Subtle pleats, gorgeous leather and crisp metallics added flair.

I have to wonder what the judges on Project Runway would say about these...the white one shoulder dress is lovely, but some of those long sleeved jersey dresses do look a little dull to me. I'm just saying....
1I love the metallic dress. Gorgeous.
2Wiggle, you have a good point - though you have to respect the crip, clean, and classic lines here. Fabric doesn't hang like jersey, so I don't think that's what it is.
3Some pieces I love, others are a bit staid and boring.
4I agree, some pieces are boring.
5chic and sleek. loving it... although not all of the pieces look very wearable off the runway... they'd fall oddly if you were not walking.
