Minimalist yes, and gloriously so. But not simple. Jil Sander’s Fall 2013 collection, shown Saturday in Milan, certainly made a strong case for that. After her second season back at the house that bears her name, Jil Sander proved her self once again in stellar form. This season she focus on precise tailoring, the pieces the designer sent out embodied those three ideals to a T. Wool and cashmere coats were both structured and fluid thanks to geometric lapels, emphatic pocket flaps, dropped shoulder seams, and oversize, rounded silhouettes. Sweaters, too, were a study in balance. Paired with pleated a-line skirts in thick, glossy leather, their fine cashmere draped softly round the torso while their high necks, curved shoulders, and roomy sleeves provided a perfect architectural frame. Perhaps most surprising was the ease Sander showed with color, whether putting a brown top over a navy skirt or amping up with orange-and-black combos. Gutsy, perhaps — if a look can be at once gutsy and graceful. (Text Teuku Ajie)
