Jil Sander Adds Pops of Color to +J Line for Uniqlo

coutorture — Wed, 23 Dec 2009 07:19:36 -0800

Uniqlo previewed the second +J collection from Jil Sander yesterday in Tokyo, and the 120-piece lineup will go on sale today across Japan and other Asian countries. Much of the new designs were made of tech-satin blend and differ from Sander's first collection in the use of color-namely pale shades of blue, lilac, olive and ivory.

The new styles include a shiny stand collar women's coat ($165), basic blazers ($45), and classic menswear shirts ($108). The collection hits U.S. stores next March.

Raf Simons Designs Jil Sander Jewelry Collection with Damiani

Jil Sander is launching a jewelry collection of cocktail rings, necklaces, and bracelets with Italian jewler Damiani.

Raf Simons-who partnered with Damiani on earrings for the recent Jill sander spring runway show-defended his decision to expand into the jewelry category in a statement:

"After the great response on our first collection of earrings for this summer I am convinced that Jil Sander, even being considered as the brand of pureness, can create a product category such as jewelry which is not typically seen as Jil Sander."

The pieces will be available in Jil Sander boutiques and select department stores early in 2010. A watch collection will follow, being released later next year.

Trouser shorts have been a topic of conversation in the menswear scene for seasons now and Spring 2010 will be no exception. So far this season many designers have shown trouser shorts--a notable few in neutral tones. Paired with monochrome shirts and accessories we think these unassuming shades will be all the rage next spring.

Last week we wrote about the Jil Sander fringe dresses that sold out immediately on Net-a-Porter and, today, a post in homage to the asymmetrical sandals from that same collection. These super tall beauties are a riff, perhaps, on the Maison Martin Margiela shoes that style blog Sea Of Shoes loves so much and though a five-inch heel and one-inch platform never sits well with us, we love the elegant look of these beauties. We have a feeling we will be seeing more of this look as the season progresses.

Eponymous Jil Sander Fringe Dresses Sold-Out On Net-a-Porter

Fringe was one of those trends that hit the streets before the Spring 09 shows even commenced. Most eponymous were the dramatic Jil Sander dresses that made their way into every editorial and on every blog in the months that followed the shows. Although we might have already grown tired of fringe, thanks in part to the DIY nature of the look, it's not over until those Jil Sander dresses make their way into stores. Net-a-Porter put up two of them today, both of which retailed well above $1,500, and they promptly sold out. Looks like some women aren't willing to take a glue gun to their LBD, no matter how long they have to wait for the real thing.
