to say that jil sander's style and taste is irrelevant and then go on to say that pheobe philo does it better,is an even greater insult. we're talking about the original here....the woman who along with yohji yamamoto(i suppose in your eyes he would be deemed irrelevant too?) paved the way for talents like philo and the like. and frankly i don't see it.....not on the level jil does. phoebe does simplicity well but her cutting skills are nowhere near as precise and sublime as jil. and is that what it is,ageism? because she's not young and fresh we should put them out to pasture? sorry i don't ascribe to that mentality. frankly,raf was perfectly good but he was good in that he had his own vision for jil sander but it wasn't jil sander's essence. i always felt an immense detachment from the spirit of the house....as uemarasan explained.....jil made clothes for real people. raf made great story clothes.
