"A New Elegance" | Jil Sander Fall 2012/13

Beautiful modern sportswear at Raf Simon's final collection for Jil Sander.

On the catwalk, women dressed in robe dresses and enveloping coats that are reminiscent of the 50s Dior models; little dresses with leather inserts on the bust that bring to mind Yves Saint Laurent; and, finally, corolla trench coats with maxi belts that resemble haute couture sketches. A collection that starts out sweetly and slowly gains in fullness, texture, and seduction: strapless dresses with cuts, inserts, and draped fabrics that shape geometric figures and confer balance, purity, and style for a new elegance.
