Jil Sander Spring/Summer 2012


Raf Simons has given us another beautiful collection of white, shirted garments. I love the tiered and layering look to the look above. 





i really like the jacket with the buttons from the dress that keeps them fastened together. i feel the cold easily so it's nice to have a way to keep the jacket close to the body but it also allows the garment underneath to be seen. I bet we'll see this look a lot when the collection is put into stores. 


Finally, i love the length and whole look of the outfit above. It is so appealing to try on, it appears to be light and breezy. 
When i first saw the collection it reminded me of nurses outfits, especially Florence Nightingale but as it went on it became different yet again. There is colour in the collection but it doesn't feature as much as it usually does but it works well. It is also lovely to see print, but i do worry that it takes the eye away from the pattern cutting.

The theme i'm seeing in a lot of the fashion shows this season, especially from Italy is the white crisp shirt but each time it is different and modern and exciting. It's great to see it being brought back as it's a piece that remains timelessly classic.
