Jil Sander is an international luxury brand led by design, quality and functionality. Progressive and experimental, it delivers an enduring wardrobe for women and men fusing elements from different genres, in a play of contrast that produces a variety of garments and accessories that are evenly sumptuous, practical, and iconic. Technology and the hand-made, natural and high-performance materials, feminine and masculine, daywear and glamour, complement each other, balancing invention and purity of forms. The constant collaboration with artists, photographers, filmmakers, musicians, and artisans constantly adds resonance and depth to the vision. The brand was established in 1968 by Mrs. Jil Sander, it is directed by Simone Bellotti, and it was acquired by the OTB Fashion Group in 2021.
