This beautifully crafted book, as meticulously designed as her clothing, provides rare insight into Sander’s extraordinary journey as both a designer and an influential businesswoman.
Drawing from an extensive archive and offering glimpses into the private life of the famously reclusive designer, the book chronicles Sander's beginnings in the 1960s, where she quickly earned a reputation as a discerning designer who resisted fleeting trends. When the fashion world eventually caught up with her vision in the late 80s and 90s, Jil Sander became one of the most respected names in haute couture. Staying true to her fundamental principles was key to her success, and the book also highlights her ventures into cosmetics and her later collaboration with Uniqlo to create the popular +J line. Additionally, it explores her partnerships with prominent architects in designing her global flagship stores, blending architecture and fashion seamlessly.
This comprehensive narrative weaves together every aspect of Sander's remarkable career, resulting in a refined and timeless portrait of the Jil Sander brand—a story of unwavering integrity and determination, presented in an elegant and enduring package.
