Jil Sander Catwalk Fashion Show ss2010

Raf Simons went back to nature, in an intellectual way – of course. His ss2010 collection for Jil Sander  took on a rough-hewn edge—dresses in which layers of fabric were peeled back and left hanging in patches; linen and gauze tailoring patched together in sheer and opaque zones; and knitwear manipulated into complex conceptual surface patterns to conceal and reveal skin in unexpected ways. White and navy were the main colors, with some showstoppers in shiny green and blue.

Thanks to a very kind PR-assistant at the door we made it into Jil Sander last minute. It was – as always – worth trying. Very plain, very sober and very white! White shirts at navy trousers dominated the collection and Raf Simons just added a small silver outline to shirts or cut the frontparts of jackets different which gave the models – together with their bowlcut hair – a neat and nerdy look. The portraits by Japanese artist Foujita gave it a more arty edge.
