With a strong emphasis on tailoring, minimalism, and a refined aesthetic, Jil Sander reflects on contemporary masculinity with this Fall/Winter 2012 showing. Reinterpreting classic styles with a play on proportions, shapes and cuts, sparing interjections of colors make for an overall muted range. Defined by density of materials with a focus on shapes, volume and cuts, the collection is highlighted by double-breasted suits, full-length coats, improved trousers and reworked brogues.

The most recent release from Jil Sander comes courtesy of this new iPad Python Case from its extensive Spring/Summer 2012 collection. Featuring an intriguing aesthetic that is precisely parallel to the brand’s interesting series of snakeskin-detailed tees, this casing comes in vibrant blue color with contrast orange or understated black straps intended to be worn around the neck or waist. The case retails for $819 USD via oki-ni.

German fashion pioneer Jil Sander dropped off an impeccably tailored wool biker jacket to the good folks at MR PORTER. Featuring an asymmetrical zip front and a contrasting yellow lining, this piece is certainly a modern take on the classic leather biker jacket. Stay tuned to MR PORTER’s site for more release details, which should follow soon.

Jil Sander’s run at Uniqlo has been truly epic. As one of the first high-fashion designers to collaborate so closely with a mass-market brand, Sander set a benchmark for future collections such as Karl Lagerfeld’s line for Macy’s and Lanvin’s partnership with H&M. Furthermore, she not only slapped her name on a Uniqlo label but also brought her own unique, dark and structural aesthetic to the Japanese retailer – a store usually revered for its basic essentials rather than stylish lookbooks. Expectedly, Ms. Sander’s ultimate collection for Uniqlo doesn’t disappoint. Full of contrasting colors, linear inspirations and a decidedly lux mix of tech-infused materials with traditional fabrics, the last leg of J+ may actually prove to be its strongest. Available soon in Uniqlo stores the world over.
