Raf Simons’ work at Jil Sander continues on its brilliant path at this season’s Fall 2011 show. We’ve seen so many iconic brands take nosedives when their founders no longer helm them, Simons’ has not only managed to keep the core of the Sander brand alive, which is to say wearable and functional with an emphasis on high quality fabrics, but has managed to do so while infusing the brand with a unique flare and a keen sense of proportion, both of which have been essential in growing the brand beyond what some may have considered cold minimalism.
