Jil Sander | The Girl Came Back

BREAKING! After a 5 year absence from the fashion industry much lauded minimalist designer Jil Sander is making her return. She will be acting as a creative consultant to Uniqlo’s mens and womens ranges with a new collection that will more closely follow her own minimalist aesthetic. Her new role will serve as unofficial creative director and have no involvement with the childrens wear and accessories. The first fruits of the Uniqlo/Sander collaboration will be out for the Fall/Winter 09-10 season.

This is the first long term designer team-up for Uniqlo who has had past capsule collections with Tim Hamilton, Alexander Wang, Alexandre Plohkov, and Alice Roi. Steven Alan and Opening Ceremony have collections due out this spring along with a concept store at Selfridges in London.
