The Jil Sander Pre-Fall 2024 collection anticipated their fall 2024 exploration of elegance with a flair for the refined and a polish.

The collection features smoothing hard-edged minimalism with an appreciation for honest craft and a sensual touch of couture. The mix is seen traced in sharp-shaped tunics softened by cape sleeves undulating with a graceful movement, or in streamlined cardi-coats with slit sleeves revealing the bare skin of arms, or else in inflated puffer ensembles, round-shaped and protective yet made in handsome dry checkered wool, which toned their sporty character down with a more urban attitude.

Engineered pieces for both women and men blended craft and technology, one of the Meiers’ favorite dichotomies, giving the utilitarian an elevated look. Soft-padded, spongy knitwear and the indulgence of double-faced cashmere throughout made the case for the high-end “enveloping feeling” they were keen on highlighting.

Sophisticated jewelry gave an ornamental twist to the purist Jil Sander silhouette. Pearls were embroidered across a black tabard, while the V-neckline of a boxy knitted jumper was encrusted with geometric metal shards.

With an edge, the collection continued to conveyed a quotidian vibe.
