Jil Sander Pre-Fall 2024 Explores the Balance Between Menswear and Womenswear
Where form, function and fabrication lead.
Since 2017, Luke and Lucie Meier have been leading the design charge at Jil Sander. Under their stewardship, the minimalist brand has continued to explore the arenas of clean design without compromising quality. Minimalism never meant boring and the Meier’s understand this perfectly as their weight at Jil Sander has continuously exalted design as functional form. Now for the brand’s Pre-Fall 2024 collection, the married designers explore the balancing rulebook of menswear and womenswear.
When thinking about core pieces in the menswear and womenswear style book, pieces like suits, collared shirts, dresses and skirts come to mind. Although these garments have remained as core staples in the human wardrobe, their interpretation is subject to evolution. The latest Jil Sander explores the balance of evolution by offering up notes of couture, contemporary style and classic codes – all while sitting in the minimalist umbrella.
For example, men’s coats traverse the extent of unrelenting charm via wool, leather and textured fabrications in a range of hues. A sleek gray wool coat lends itself to classic codes, while a fuschia-colored cool overcoat or a white shearling coat leans into contemporary charm. But the elegance extends itself to chic knitwear, paneled trousers and uneven pleated skirts.
On the other side of the coin, womenswear looks at the same elegant sentiment. One moment you’ll find a black leather tube skirt paired with black leather boots, a black turtleneck and a relaxed black jacket. The next moment, pieces like a wool wrap coat, a sculptured houndstooth coat, a deep camel thick wool suit and a white fringed skirt come into view.
Whether menswear or womenswear, the explorative balancing act comes with the collection’s exhibition of form, function and fabrication. Take a look at the Jil Sander Pre-Fall 2024 collection in the gallery above, which is set to release soon in-store and online.
