Very disappointed, actually. Raf has the tendency to make things look a bit too high street at Jil Sander menswear, and this collection is one of them. This looks like one of those Swedish brands, like Tiger of Sweden or Filippa K. and that's not a good thing. Making the hundreds of bright colors and mixing them together with minimal silhouette looks a bit boring and obvious these days. It worked in 2007 when he did it first time for the house, but now this theme has been totally sucked dry by the mass-market.


I hate writing this, but this reminds me of Burberry SS05 menswear, with all the bright colors..although the difference being the color in that collection flowed very harmoniously w/ one another..in this collection, the colors all clash with one another and all look rather garish..You can easily tell Raf doesn't do color all that much.
But, I must say: those white floral-print shirts are absolutely adorable, and probably the only thing I'd ever consider buying from Jil.
this collection seems like an homage to Todd Oldham ca. 1994.... i love it![]()
