jil sander SS13

Jil Sander is my second favorite designer. The collections are always consistent boundary pushing but in the most subtle ways. This collection, for example, was simple and clean-cut, with big statements of bold colors (a re-occurring pattern this season it seems), but it was off-set with subtle undertones of white. Aside from the hair-style and the great use of color, I'd like to point out the amazing footwear. For some of the looks I had to do a double-take for a second to realise that half the boot was in fact two-toned and not just the model's skin color. I felt like the collection was also very 60's/70's inspired. Or maybe I'm just crazy, i don't know. But some looks felt very "funky" with disco-esque boots and large polka-dots.
