I had a confirmation from brand's PR but didn't receive any invitation...welcome to Italy. So I didn't even know what time of the show is [Jil had 2 times 7 and 8 pm]. After school I ran home, did a little touch up to myself and ran to the venue. I arrived there 30 min-late but show hadn't started yet. Lucky me, my name was in the list of the 7 pm-show. This show was also one of the most awaited show of the season. Raf never did the women collection before and doing for the brand which was so successful is not a easy task. After an arriving of Mrs. Piaggi, the gorgeous collection complimented with White edition of IHT started, talking about the pureness homage Simons did to Mrs. Sander, by parading the look of pale-skin, scrubbed face, sleek hair and new face models [beside Gemma...], wearing the back-to-basic outfits; wide-shoulder boxy jacket, double breast jacket, volumed pea coats, lean trousers...and his new items the floor-length skirts and dresses. Raf played with the volume and effect of the innovative fabric without any trend or inspiration, harmonized with the minimal palette like inky black, white, [Simon's] grey, dark greyish blue and colorish-brown. He carried the looks and details from his Sander men collection, which are the single top button coats, key-hole neck cardigans, white proper shirts. His new introduced-pieces like the inuously jersey dress were also interesting, with a simple knot in front or back could make the simple plain-colored dress so appealing. He should imprint this look to the German minimal house for season and season. His idea was to twist the normal outfit by adding the Simon detailing. After the grievous seasons (after acquired by Prada group), this was the re-glory successful day of Jil Sander, big German brand designed by the small Belgian man.
