While pursuing purity, I introduce a sense of fluctuation into it.
Simone Bellotti, who was appointed creative director of JIL SANDER, impressed the discerning front-row crowd with his talent.
Bellotti is a Milanese who made his mark at *Gucci* as Alessandro Michele’s right-hand man and quickly turned around *Bally* after being appointed its creative director.
This jacket, dyed entirely in rouge, is a piece that epitomizes the new Jil Sander.
Jacket ¥544,500
Amid a collection dominated by subdued colors, the rouge made a striking impression. The contrast was reminiscent of selective color—that technique where bright red lips or an umbrella stand out against a black-and-white photograph.
The boldly designed open yoke creates a beautiful drape, and its shape also lends a sense of movement to the garment.
One thing you can’t miss is the fabric called “Technical Crispy Faille.” Technical fabrics symbolized the innovation brought to life by founder Jil Sander. By incorporating them into her designs, she brought her vision of minimalism to fruition. The “Technical Crispy Faille,” with its slightly dry texture, exudes a profound sense of homage to her roots.
It has a relaxed fit, and its main features include a stand-up collar with a stowable hood, a drawstring, and welt pockets.
The logo is subtly placed on the cuff. While this reflects the aesthetic sensibility that runs through the house, Bellotti’s modest personality has undoubtedly played a significant role as well.
