Sander’s eponymous line was founded in 1968 and from 2009 to 2011 German brand Jil Sander (which is now helmed by creative directors Luke and Lucie Meier) worked with Uniqlo on a line of super-sleek separates for men and women that fell under the name Uniqlo +J.Īcross five seasons, standout products included oversized and elongated Oxford shirts, avant-garde outerwear in the shape of knee-length trenches and boxy puffer jackets and an extremely heavy dose of tailoring. With ongoing partnerships with Christophe Lemaire (under Uniqlo U) and JW Anderson, Uniqlo has cemented itself as the go-to for fashion’s inner circle, with magazine editors and fashionistas alike hitting the high-street chain for a slice of the good stuff, at prices that won’t leave you broke.Īnd now, after a nine-year hiatus, the ultra-chic queen of minimalism and demure design Jil Sander has rejoined the Japanese brand and it’s got us extremely excited.
