I know exactly what you mean re: the marble print but I think it's a fresh direction and new innovation for Jil Sander, mere tweaking of the aesthetic I think.Funny, those were my thoughts exactly Spike! I love that collar, very fresh and interesting structurally. The marble print, I guess we'll call it, is unique but for me somehow too fluid for Jil Sander (if that makes sense). I'll have to see the entire collection to get a better grasp on where that fits.
