Milan Fashion Week heralded the return of Jil Sander to her own bespoke label after a seven-year hiatus. It's sad to see Raf Simons go, however I must say in all honesty, Jil's straight-forward aesthetic is something more akin to my own personal style. Her comeback collection featured well-tailored pieces that are simple, to the point and just well structured. Going back to basics seems to be a recurring theme this season for menswear, and though it sounds a bit weird in this case since it is her own label, Jil did well by easing her own hand back where Raf left off. The swatch were derivatives of primary shades- bright cobalt, canary yellow and deep garnet and everything in between. Prints were also kept at a relatively basic geometry. Below the waist, Jil offered a few variations for the summer shorts, from slim fit to her take on the loose drop-crotch, which isn't my favourite cut but then again, I'm no six-foot waif. Needless to say, it was a welcome return for the label's matron and her showcase remains one of my favourites so far. It also helps that I have fallen in love with the gorgeous Nick von Heymann. Below, he's the guy on the left. Isn't he gorgeous? ^^
