Raf Simons for Jil Sander: Fall 2012

A remarkable way to end his career at Jil Sander: Raf Simons’ collection was so beautiful, standing out from all the others that appeared on the catwalk these past weeks and I think from all his collections at the fashion house. A parade of feminine coats and dresses, graceful silhouettes in a ravishing colour palette, from pastels to the poppy red and mauve, looking regal paired together in those last three images I’ve selected. The setting was in such a perfect harmony with the clothes and the colours, just as it should be at a great show. This is one of those collections that take you by surprise and stay with you. It’s in the books now.

    It is so simple and so extremely elegant. There isn’t one thing I don’t love, every time I see it time is standing still for a few seconds. Absolutely beautiful!

    I just commented on Natalia’s blog about it! I simply loved this collection and Raf Simons managed to create the perfect feminine, elegant and sleek wardrobe for a modern woman. BTW, the tangerine coat/navy dress was also a favourite look! I’m really curious to see what he’ll do next, but I really hope we will soon see other creations from this amazing designer…

    Simple, but so chic! I love those large coats both in red and light pink! Am I left behind or the stiletto shoes are more and more coming back?

    The collection is incredibly: very feminine yet powerful, a pure statement! Especially I like the shoes, metalic details are fantastic!

    Oh I agree with you, Ada! It was a simply stunning collection. The colors were so beautiful and fresh and the silhouettes were beautiful and so ladylike. A perfect send off in my opinion. 🙂 xoxo

    I guess the subliminal pull for me was the setting, it felt so Hitchcock and the coats right out of Marnie, but it even more gorgeous hues. I love that the present and this very modern designer has a place for pretty!

      there is no better association than with Marnie, Mary Jo. The theme is very much Marnie, if you come to think of it.

    Those looks are so stunning. I love the dramatic coats and the soft pink paired with the camel. Truly fabulous.

    A gorgeous palette for sure…I saved some images also. Looks like they were very popular. Interesting to see what will happen when Jil Sander comes back again.
