Jil Sander
Heidemarie Jiline aka Jil Sander is a German fashion designer and founder of the Jil Sander fashion house. A contemporary, somewhat odd and the “New Look” are the trademark of Jil Sander’s design. Originally intended for women conquering executive positions in the 1980s – was that of a precisely cut pantsuit, a slim blouse, and a form-fitting coat made of luxurious fabrics in plain grey, beige, blue, black or white. Jil Sander enjoyed almost cult-like followings for her fashions that could all be easily coordinated and have always ranged in the top price segment. For her single-minded focus on understated elegance, high-end materials and refined tailoring, Sander has been described as the Queen of Less, Cashmere-Queen, Master of Minimalism, Cool Blonde, Gentle-Jil or Fashion Reductionist. Sander’s eponymous fashion label still exists today but has been carried on without her involvement since 2004. In early 2009, Sander, after years of absence from the world of fashion, announced the creation of her own fashion consultancy, and her employment by Uniqlo of Japan.
