After leaving, Jil Sander spent a few years traveling, reading, and immersing himself in his gardening hobby. In 2009, I went to Uniqlo and launched the popular +J series, and then returned to my eponymous brand from 2012 to 2013.
Jil Sander is known as the “Queen of Less†and has been retiring for four years. His first solo exhibition was recently opened at the Museum Angewandte Kunst in Frankfurt, Germany.
The 3000 square foot (about 278 square meters) space was divided into nine themes by curator Matthias Wagner K: T-stage, behind-the-scenes, studio, fashion collections, accessories, beauty, photography and advertising, fashion and art, architecture and gardens. art. The questions that the exhibition proposes and wants to answer are: "What is the most critical for high quality design?"

Most people's perception of Jil Sander is in the minimalist/sexual brand, but now 74-year-old Jil Sander is also a very interesting woman.
It is not unusual for a "minimal queen" in Germany. Born in Hamburg, Germany in 1943, Jil Sander was more or less influenced by Bauhaus. She opened her own clothing boutique in 1968 and launched her first design collection five years later. But think about the punk rock, disco, and hippies that were popular in the 1970s. The "simple" clothes designed by a girl in her twenties didn't attract too much attention.
Until the 1980s, Jil Sander's grasp of dress lines was welcomed by the fashion world. By the end of the 1990s, the brand's annual turnover could reach $100 million.
Jil Sander doesn't often visit and protects her private life, but from the photos and her few visits, you can feel that this is a strong and self-conscious woman.
She is always wearing a suit, or a white shirt, with a pair of leather shoes, taking pictures like a hand on the table or knees, a boss gesture.

“If I have the power, I will ban people from wearing tight pants,†Jil Sander once said. The power and sharp lines in the costume are another expression of her character, and she is also given a feminist image of independent thinking.
The New York Times critic Cathy Horyn once wrote, “The answer to a minimalist woman's minimalist tailoring...a great dressing style, if you are a dress other than everyday, there is nothing else. The things that think about people."
But Jil Sander admits that what she is best at is not tailoring, but fabric, which can be hired by general tailoring, but she has the ability to find lighter, softer cashmere, more floating silk or more crispy that you have never seen before. cotton.
This is the main reason for the contradiction between Prada CEO Patrizio Bertelli and Jil Sander after Prada acquired its 75% stake in 1999.
For business reasons, Bertelli wants Jil Sander's cost to drop, starting with extremely expensive fabrics, but Jil Sander certainly won't agree to compromise on the part he is good at, even if he sacrifices profits, he wants to take advantage of it. The best fabric.
Bertelli later said publicly that Jil Sander doesn't need a designer. The next story is that Jil Sander left his brand. The brand lost a net loss of $9.4 million in 2001. In 2003, he returned as the chief designer and left again a year later.
After leaving, Jil Sander spent a few years traveling, reading, and immersing himself in his gardening hobby. In 2009, I went to Uniqlo and launched the popular +J series, and then returned to my eponymous brand from 2012 to 2013.
Since then, 70-year-old Jil Sander has finally retired, and now it is time to summarize his life.
"I was not a hippie at the time. I was very modern. I was already very cool and had a hermaphrodite temperament, but in that era, women usually acted like a dignified wife." Jil Sander commented on himself.
If you are interested, you can take a look and the exhibition lasts until May 6, 2018.
