Does anyone know what happened to Milan Vukmirovic after he was unceremoniously zapped from his position after Jil Sander returned to her house?
Poor guy, most articles didn't even bother to mention his name, let alone his plans after his departure. Jil Sander was much too missed by everyone, little attention was spared to anything else.
I'm an old-school Jil Sander fan, but to be perfectly honest, the stuff he did for the label during Ms. Sander's hiatus wasn't half bad. His designers were wearable, versatile, and in some cases truly beautiful. Yes, most of it were quite derivative and unimaginative, but then again I'm quite sure he'd be condemned to hell if he didn't play it safe. The brand has such a strict archetypal aesthetic that any other designer, however talented, would be challenged to take any sort of creative liberty with it. It was a burden much too big for anyone else but Jil herself.
I think he'd do quite well as a designer somewhere else, where he's free to develop his own style.
