Luke and Lucie Meier Appointed Creative Directors at Jil Sander
Following key roles at the likes of Dior, Supreme and OAMC.
Luke and Lucie Meier are in at Jil Sander, with both taking on the roles of creative director. The duo is on board with immediate effect, meaning the womenswear 2018 spring/summer collection will be their first. Luke Meier is one of our HB 100, working for eight years as the head designer of Supreme before launching his own brand, OAMC. On the other hand, Lucie worked for Louis Vuitton, Balenciaga and, most recently, Dior where she took on the role of co-creative director after Simons’s departure from the brand.
The duo is quoted in the press release as saying the following:
“We feel proud and honored to join this beautiful brand. To be able to work on this side by side makes this opportunity even more special to us. We hope to show the affection we have for this brand through our work, as JIL SANDER has had such a profound influence on our paths.”
While Alessandra Bettari, CEO of the brand, said the following:
“Lucie and Luke possess an intimate connection and a deep understanding of the brand. They hold a vision which is modern, cohesive, and in touch with what is relevant now and they beautifully combine it with a subtle sensibility for fabrics, garment construction, and detail definition. I expect the creation of very clever collections and a world to be inspired by.”
