The Fall Winter 2012 Jil Sander collection was without a doubt one of their best in years. The show, however, left spectators with a bittersweet taste. Not only was the collection one of the strongest contendors in Milan, but it was also designer Raf Simons’ last. Simons, who had been creative director of the Jil Sander brand for seven years, presented his collection to the world, leaving tears in the eyes of most people present.
The collection presented was beautiful with the designers intelligence and passion put behind it. Seeming 1950s, 60s style has significant influence in this collection but the fabric selection gives it a modern and contemporary look. The color story of fall/winter collection contains loads of wonderful pastel colors, pink, beige, and sky blue. which are normally associated with spring, however, these pastel colors are usually pair with a essence color such as white, camel and black. Silver and red are used minimally.
This collection is all about wonderful contrast and balance. The contrast color lining of the coat is just a elegant match! The overall silhouettes are big and voluminous coats with fitted, body conscious dresses underneath. One thing that we noticed is the interesting concept of the seamless dresses. Models did their catwalk in a retro and gracious gesture by holding their coat closed at their chest.
Excluding a few piece were tied at the waist. The majority of coats were made of a techy and glossy looking fabric–perhaps neoprene. There is no patterns being corporated, this collection is about clever construction, Simons added a few geometric shapes by using seaming and straps to highlight the dresses. An interesting fabric that is being used of a black dress is PVC. The super glossy and shining black actually looks a bit like big trash bags, but it is definitely a fun mix of the collection.
Beauty trends of this collection appearing as refreshing and an every day look! All the models are wearing the same hairdo. It's a simple yet elegant and professional look. Front Hair neatly parted to the side with a long pony tail at the back that you can't see when looking from the front. It's a fast and easy hairstyle that every girl can do, it's perfect for when in a rush to work or school! The makeup is cohesive with the hair, it's very minimal. Every single model has perfect skin, blushes on cheeks are not being seen here. Mascara is used lightly. Description of this look is natural brows with a fresh-face, and spiced up with pinkish red matte lips.
The minimal make up with red lips speaks with the collection and the brand image. Jil sander is known for its sophistication and elegance. The collection is very colorful and feminine so the minimal makeup is indeed a very wise match, because it makes the model looks gorgeous but it's not distracting at all to drift the attention away from the beautiful clothes.
The big coats for fall is absolutely trend-setting. I think the pastel color will be a trend as well, aren't we all tired of seeing or wearing only black and dark colors during fall and winter? And I'm highly positive of seeing the basic makeup and red lips this fall! It's a effortless look that looks good with everything! why not have an extra hour for bed and still walk out the door shining like a star!
