Founded in 1968 by Heidejarie Jiline Sander, Jil Sander is a luxury minimalist fashion house. Across the reins of its various designers, from Jil Sander herself to the celebrated years of Raf Simons to, most recently, the work of Luke and Lucie Meier, its DNA has remained resolutely immutable: extreme minimalism brought to the pitch of sophisticated perfection through the use of razor sharp tailoring and avant-garde textiles. In recent collections the domain of this signature minimalist formula has been broadened to include the new categories of urban elegance including heavily military inspired essentials, tracksuits, ultralight bags and accessories.
