Indeed, New York and London Fashion Weeks have been particularly enchanting and wholly satisfying. I'm sure you caught the fabulously floppy pimp hats at Marc Jacobs, as well as the stellar military-themed jackets (and the surely padded hair halos) at the first ever McQ show.
But my joy has been briefly interrupted by news that Raf Simons is leaving his post as creative director of Jil Sander, one of my favorite European design houses. (Jil Sander is returning to to head up her eponymous label, if you were curious.) It will be sad to see his bold, innovative silhouettes and deceptively simplistic designs leave. There is hopeful chatter, though, that he'll be moving on to Christian Dior. I'll believe it when it excitingly happens.
Anyways, here are my favorite looks from my favorite collection:
Jil Sander Spring 2011 Ready-to-Wear
His last collection, Fall 2012 Ready-to-Wear, will show tomorrow, in case you're dying to see it.
