Jil Sander Mens F/W 10.11 Milan

[montrealm]

This is a nice collection overall, I remember some of Raf's for Jil collections being a little bit difficult but this is very wearable, the cut is great and color palette is even more. The coats are certainly one of the best pieces, I particularly love the insertion of the sportier coats, almost similar to the foam coats Zucchelli did with Calvin for fall 09, but thats just IMO

Fantastic!
I did like the jackets and coats

this feels so helmut lang to me in the best possible way. i love the raf simons' twist he's put on many iconic jil sander basics. if the worldwide economy bounces back, these stand as the type of clothes men with money will happily buy again. just enough design to keep it interesting but not to "out there" to make one a fashion victim.

I'll join the crow and say I'm loving the cut. It's very wearable indeed.
I just hate the hairstyle tho, haha.

I love the knitwear and the suits...I love a good suit.

I feel like well dressed men around the world will be seen in this collection....

 

[Street_a_Licious]

i like that.... velcro-ish thing on the coats and jackets. altho i would never wear that.

 

[Crying Diamonds]

Bravo...although some of the jacket look a little gimmicky.

I did think the same thing - it feels like the womens' S/S 10 collection only much more subtle.
They are exquisitely crafted and it is all beautiful, but I've grown to hate clothes that I feel I'd only be able to wear once or twice before the novelty wore off.
The suits are fantastic.

 

[BerlinRocks]

fantastic as always Raf ....

definitely agree about the luxury direction, visconti !

 

[Scott]

the geometry in many of the pieces are extraordinary!

 

[simons]

i always expect good tailoring with raf and this is no different. however, for me its always a matter of him pushing it and how much. everything is nice and wearable but i feel like he could have gone further. i love the neutral colors but like most hated the hair.

suzy menkes mentioned the show in her review of milan fashion week:

At Jil Sander, there seemed to be tension between the precise geometry of its designer, Raf Simons, and the Sander heritage of sleek severity. It reverberated from the taut raised-waist coats, from asymmetric sweater necklines and from an overall feeling that the designer was straining for ultra-modernity.

“I wanted to inject a lot of energy,” Mr. Simons said backstage, presumably referring to graphic inserts of fabric that looked striking as a curve appliquéd on a shirt but was more like trying too hard when organic shapes were attached to coats or developed as side tabs.

This was a collection in which the textures of cable-knit sweaters or shiny black puffa jackets told a more simple story than the complex modern architecture. And as so often in menswear collections, the range of fabrics intrigued but were difficult to digest on the fast-paced runway.
