    Thanks, Kodak. MUCH better. This is exactly what I expected from Raf, not being afraid to bring his own twist. Aaah, I'm glad he is doing the infamous Jil Sander shearling. Lord Buddha knows how many of them I've drooled over.

      Milan - Jil Sander Digs for Metal




      Godfrey Deeny
      January 14th, 2007 @ 00:03 AM - Milan




      We know the price of commodities has soared in recent years, but covering most everything in a metallic sheen in the Jil Sander men?s collection shown Sunday morning in Milan did not make this collection significantly more valuable.

      The big idea of Sander?s creative director Raf Simons for fall-winter 2007/2008 was using liquid silver and copper finishes on bags, barnstormer flight jackets, Posh Punk brothel creepers and closely woven pullovers. Raf also dreamed up some splendid weekend bags and trendy luggage with liquid silver and faded platinum hues, which are sure to be very influential.

      But while novel and technologically ingenious, the collection, inspired by artist Anthony Gormly, was repetitive, albeit luxurious. Simons is a clever designer who cuts with genuine panache, but after three seasons at the helm at Sander he is beginning to repeat himself ? not a great sign.

      From his ?clones of himself? model casting, short hair with fringes over the forehead, to the austere minimalism of the clothes, the whole proceedings look, well, not terribly new.

      Raf?s other innovation Sunday, the opening day of the five day Italian men?s wear season in Milan was playing about with chalk stripe, though the bright spark who wrote the press release for Sander decided, inaccurately, that these were all pinstripes. They were not. Some of these experimentations were rather cool ? like the barely there window-pane check or spidery chalk stripe midnight blue three-quarters coats and finely tailored cashmere suits in micro chalk. Many were just dull.

      With patent leather shoes and all the shiny fabrics, Simons made an unsual foray into the world of showy clothes. But far too often, this collection looked cloyingly familiar, which, in fashion, should never be the case.

          Wow, that reviewer got just about everything backwards. One, silver/metallic are anything but novel. Two, in case he/she missed the point of Jil Sander as a brand, I would like to remind that it's about reliable, beautifully cut classic pieces, at times with interesting twists. "Dull," - I can say that anything Jil has ever done is dull. Or I can say that it's minimalist. Dumbass.

            I don't think one can call silver liquid or metalic surface effect "novel and technologically ingenious". I think the real innovative now, and rarely done, is to put the metal into the depth, aka, the thread.




            I think the clothes look so heavy weighted andboxy. I don't like the shoulder line, the "things" aroundthe neck. Where is the lightness and grace-when-moved JS?




            EDIT: I saw the stuffs up closeat catwalking.com so that not all I said above is fair:-)




            Maybe it is bc the dakr colour and the details are not seen. Some of the coats has horizotal and vertical cut. The metalic is very discreet. And despite the "stainless steel" surface, it foldes greatly. I guess you can call it luxury:-P




            The V neck sweter has a small back collar:-) which is nice, but indeed adding sth to the shoulder line.

              Also, how can he be that repetitive if he has only been at Jil Sander for 3 seasons.

                          I would say as much is true. Either that, or he has poor "taste," which is always a possibility.

                          This season is much better than S/S, everything has improved exponentially, in my opinion.

                            Thanks, kodak. I love most of this. If the fabrics are right, I'll be all over this. The black coat is brilliant.
