Jil Sander Mens F/W 07.08 Milan

[shutterbug]

I'm always a sucker for high collars.

Hope Raf will bring back quality cashmere sweaters at Jil Sander! (Sorry but I wasn't fan of Polypropylene)

That was a little wierd; but, there were other keyhole and polo style sweaters in pure cashmere.

I love how the pinstripe turns to a check

I'm absolutely in love with that sweater. I hope it comes in non-turtleneck though. I don't do well with them.

I was a big fan of the polypropylene sweaters too, but at least for spring they've moved back toward more classic materials. This may just be due to the weight though...

I know which coat I'll be getting for next fall, Visc.

i love jil sander more and more and more!!! simplicity is the key to everything effortlessness. raf retains the same style, but unlike dolce and gabbana it's not the same collection from season to season!

Are you serious? Did they really do the pseudo v-neck sweaters (key hole) in cashmere too? Too bad, the only ones I saw were in polypropylene which i didn't really like (+ I don't fell bad spending 800 for cashmere, but I do would have felt bad spending the retail for this fabric). I'll call the Jil Sander shop in Paris to see if they still have them...
Visconti: did you buy them (the popypropylene)? Did they keep their shape (I was worry about that)?

btw that grey turtleneck sweater is brillant!

^^

i second that bedtimestoynyc !!the collection changes in a way that keeps the same mood without being the same clothes. bravo RAF!!


(i didnt know they made the key hole sweaters in cashmere either!!! :'(

 

[ETROsexualJ]

Yup they had it in oatmeal, grey and dark charcoal.

I bought the woven poly (identical fabric to the keyhole, but I have a slightly different neckline). It's held up remarkable well (had it since August), but I'm really careful to keep it stored properly. There was a second type of all poly that was a squishier fabric. Some of the more marbled knits were made in it. I only tried one on, but it seemed like it'd be more difficult to keep looking good.

I can't remember if the keyholes were done in 100% cashmere, but definitely in a wool/cashmere blend. There was also a really dark blue, dry feeling knit. I think it was wool.

etro: the pinstripe/grid? It's great. So far I'm leaning toward that early green one and of course, the sweater.

Thank god for Raf Simons.
Loving the green.

OMG I want it! How much was it?

Can you (or visconti) tell me where the cashmere was made (I think Italy but I want to be sure before calling the store and I don't see myself asking that...)

 

[Diorling]

Ooo, Raf made shearling desireable, I realllly love that black jacket, I think I need it. Lets hope the rest isn't such a snooze.

 

[ETROsexualJ]

I don't know about the green. I hope there is another color that comes out in this collection. I can't say I am a big fan of green/teal/forest/etc. At least not in something that is more than a tshirt or something over $200.

 

[ETROsexualJ]

I want more pics!!

 

[visconti]

I've never bought anything major in green either. I just like the way that material seems to catch the black + green. I guess I'm a sucker for those "trick fabrics". Since I'll have plenty of grey/black and possibly blue coats, I'm interested in diversifying (but still being in step with my pants/shoes). I guess that's one of Raf's brilliant tricks!

I'm curious about seeing the other colors too. I normally don't do browns, but that shade in the shot with the bag is pretty good.

I think all of the men's stuff is made in Italy now. I don't have any cashmere pieces to check though.

 

[belletrist]

So they definitely closed the ateliers in Germany... sad... I had three seconds of hope when I saw on Browns that the sizing system was german...

love jil sander..especially, the collars..they are so precisely cut.
i've been buttoning my shirt to the last button for a while now and it has a great effect. but yea, i sometimes get weird looks from people. who cares, right?

 

[MulletProof]

it looks promising so far, still not enough pictures for me but I hope there are more light fabrics on the show though it's still good to see him experiment with heavy materials and getting away with it.
