Jil Sander

Nothing new for you to hear, you probably have heard that Raf Simons is leaving Jil Sander for Dior. A more than stunning job he did of maintaining Sander's vision of the contemporary silhouette, minimalist, radical, elegant. His last show was bittersweet; though all of that bitterness was not present in the palette of the collection. Browns and nudes to emphasize the Woman's sensuality, shades of baby pink and rose representing her tenderness. Of course always the clean hair and face and flashes of metallic and neon updating the overly feminine palette to the present. And as if, celebrating and commemorating his departure, bouquets of stunning flowers were encased in clear perspex boxes on the runway. I do think Dior is in desperate need to be rescued, and although Dior without Galliano will never ever be the same, Raf Simon's arrival signals a new hope for the house and the legend of Dior. Ah, such a beautiful spring time story. New beginnings and lightness.
