Jil Sander+ is based on the concept of "living out of the city. Launched in fall 2019 as a complement to the main line Jil Sander's collection, the brand has developed items with an emphasis on functionality and practicality.
This initiative is based largely on the experience of the creative directors, Lucy and Luke Meyer, who, although from different backgrounds, both enjoyed skiing and hiking as children and grew up in a place rich in nature, surrounded by the ocean and mountains.
This time, they found the ideal partner to create highly specialized winter season wear. ARC'TERYX is an outdoor manufacturer based in Luke's home country of Canada. ARC'TERYX is an outdoor manufacturer based in Luke's home country of Canada, and is loved by athletes and fashion-conscious people for its solid design as well as its functionality.
The capsule collection consists of five different styles. The beautiful jackets, overalls and bib pants that look great on the slopes are all made of waterproof and breathable 3-layer GORE-TEX PRO fabric, with the volume and silhouette unique to Jil Sander+ expressed in ergonomically designed Arcteryx patterns. This is a special item. In addition to black and white, it is available in an indescribably nuanced blue-gray.

The Mayers describe their project with Arc'teryx as follows.
We grew up enjoying winter sports in the mountains, but until now we have never been able to find clothing that balances high performance with beautiful design. However, the rigor and dedication of research at Arc'teryx, a company we admire and respect, gave us the opportunity to design a piece of clothing.
