Jil Sander's Spring/Summer 2024 collection breaks the norms and redefines minimalistic fashion by embracing a blend of diverse cultures and drawing inspiration from nature. Designers Lucie and Luke Meier continue to explore the essence of clothing with a mindset of breaking traditions. They consciously study various possibilities in the collection, including professional tailoring and techniques, femininity and masculinity, understated elegance and allure, and the fusion of everyday wear and high-end customization. The collection showcases a light, graceful style that embodies both formal businesswear and futuristic elements, giving pure sculptural shapes a sense of movement and substance.

Known as ‘the Queen of Less’, Jil Sander continues the focus on developing clothes for middle and upper class women. “We were thinking about elegance,” Lucie said. “We really wanted to focus on sculptural tailoring, almost couture-like, but we like this new energy, a very cropped silhouette.” Come fall the Jil Sander woman will be wearing a wool skirt suit, its jacket sculpted with an hourglass volume and the skirt just peeking out from beneath its hem, or a slightly longer, flippier skirt with a cape-like jacket. The Meiers have made handcrafts—macramé, crochet, and the like—an essential part of their Jil Sander aesthetic.

Known for the minimalist aesthetics and simple lines, the designer of Jil Sander gets rid of all the extra details, even zippers and buttons. Crinkled textures wrap the body, and the diagonal tailoring underlines the natural drapability. Lucie and Luke Meier had a baby girl in June, which allowed the designer to integrate the vision of wonderful future into the minimalism to express the personal emotions. Therefore, Lucie and Luke applied brighter colors and looser tailoring in S/S 2022 to pursue the pure high quality and inject the warm mood.
