Jil Sander SS26
At Milan Fashion Week, Simone Bellotti presented his first runway collection for Jil Sander, marking a new chapter for the house with clarity and restraint. The show emphasized continuity rather than rupture, staying faithful to the minimalist codes that define the brand.
Silhouettes were clean and deliberate: cropped tops cut to extremes, pencil skirts disrupted by precise slits, body-conscious knits, fluid silk shirts, peplum outerwear, and both oversized and fitted dresses. Tailoring carried the discipline of sharp lines without excess, anchoring the collection in structure.
The palette centered on neutrals but was punctuated by accents of red, electric blue, and violet. These injections of color were carefully measured, reinforcing the collection’s rigor without overwhelming it. Women’s and men’s wardrobes echoed each other, united by the same minimalist language and refusal of ornament.
