If they say a picture is worth a thousand words, then Raf Simons’ spectacle at Milan fashion week for Jil Sander speaks volumes both literally and figuratively. The photo above alone demonstrates how Simons is doing for women what he did for men in the 90s. I’m speaking of the light silhouette, the bright inviting colors, the play on shapes. We may be looking at the definitive collection for the Spring season. Making room for Jil Sander in my closet right. about. now.
