It is very calm and beautiful. It's not super groundbreaking but I like the volumes and the shoes are lovely. For some reason I wasn't expecting something this feminine so it was a pleasant surprise

As for the clothes - I've never been much of fan of Jil Sander but this is a nice collection. I don't remember who said it but I agree, the lighting really didn't do the collection any favors. So thanks for the HQs, Fianna
Wow, this is so lovely, like a cool breeze of fresh air wafting into a stuffy hothouse. The designs are easy and beautiful. To my mind, these looks also command immediate respect, and what I love about this type of clean minimalism and excellent construction is that it shines in the background, but it doesn't outshine the wearer of the clothes. It seems to me, if I saw someone wearing these looks, I would notice her first, and then the clothes. With many designers/designs, it's the other way round. I love this Spring/Summer collection. The boots are an interesting twist and the use of colour, blocking and print is subtle and striking. Love the sunglasses and the bags too! I'd wear pretty much every look here. Welcome back Jil!!
Edit: I seriously don't want to leave this thread. I am moving in...
