this really isn’t about the clothes anymore right ?

 

[Beun]

How is this related at all to Jil Sander's work and aesthetics is completely lost on me... Why are they still here? Are they really selling that stuff?

I dislike everything about this

When you are at Jil and have access to its enormous archive of minimalism and pragmatism, you end up being inspired by Philo's Celine season after season. It is such a waste of opportunities for the brand, which has all the potential to adapt to the quiet luxury trend nowadays. As much as I dislike the duo's work at this brand, I cannot wait to see Philo reclaim her aesthetic back!

 

[GivenchyHomme]

The Celine look of years past is really starting to look extremely stale and démodé. At this point I’m tired of seeing it. It’s derivative of an era of fashion that is no longer relevant. It doesn’t leave a favorable impression on the designers that continue to shamelessly reference and imitate it. Soon enough they will have to innovate, or be left behind.

I really hope she doesn’t. Where would she fit into the the sea of imposters? I’m really hoping that she surprises us with something fresh. She can’t add to the over-saturation of this style. It wouldn’t make sense for a new brand to launch a look that is already heavily prevalent. What I would love to see is her anesthetic swerve more into the early years at Celine mixed with a touch of Chloe.

Given the fact that there are still many brands ripping off her aesthetic, she is probably not going to give up her Celine aesthetic which is also synonymous with her own taste. From a commercial perspective, it is wise for her to stick to the formula(the trio Philo, Nickerson, and Werbowy) so as to keep the business afloat even though she is capable of doing more than that. It is her own brand after all, which reminds me of the old Marni of Consuelo. In the long term, who knows if she is going to just simply evolve from this aesthetic in the next few seasons!

awhile back i heard it's supposed to look like a sportier version of her Céline (she was obsessed with Palace of all brands )
but apparently she has made about 3 or 4 collections by now and canceled everything so who at this point knows what it's going to look like

not sure if this is a good sign. I always thought you start a new project with a clear vision ?

It looks like her old Celine.

Some of this is fine/nice but as a whole I don't really get it.

Some of you mention similarities to Phoebe's Celine but to me this feels more like upscale COS.

Sad seeing what has happened to Jil Sander over the years. They can't even take on the Céline Philo-isms with great conviction because somehow, it looks so fussy and over complicated here despite offering a lot of visual nothing. Ends up looking very corporate.

I think the industry is kind of beyond that, at least in simple aesthetic. Now that JW's Loewe and Blazy's Bottega cater to this aura as they have a pretty good execution with it, I agree with @GivenchyHomme that Philo will probably have a different approach to this that harks back to a different time in her design life. She (hopefully) seems like the type that has a strong self awareness, and to churn out designs of such recent past that have been piggy backed rather poorly by so many now I don't want to say she's above it but she kind of is. Maybe she might even go in an OG Jil Sander route. That would be a breath of fresh air.

Either that or she goes full gusto but in a way that shows all these fools how it's really done. I don't know if the Geoffrey Beene and Jean Muir archive is expansive enough for her to grab other things from, but she could do it...

I'd say that's pretty natural, especially from an independent level. She has a lot of pressure, and you would be surprised at the amount of "unreleased samples" produced by bigger design houses. I remember many of McQueen's later collections having the shop-floor variant collection filled with the non-runway looks that were just earlier collection samples.

The 2009 Prada book also shows something similar too with toiles, samples and finalised looks that just didn't make the cut.
