For Fall 2021, the fundamentals that make that signature minimal design so appealing were on full display\u2014who knew a simple coat, a pair of trousers, or a neatly-tailored blazer could be so compelling?<span class=\"Apple-converted-space\">\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p class=\"p1\">A crisp white cotton shirt printed with a delicate smattering of florals suddenly becomes <i>the <\/i>perfect shirt\u2014especially when you zoom in to notice the arms are finished in contrasting ivory silk. A suffragette-esque white suit is perfected with culotte legs and a sharp cut, then driven to new heights thanks to the tiniest peak of lavender, poking out of the lapels.<span class=\"Apple-converted-space\"> Every single element is thought through, and then thought through again.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<figure id=\"attachment_188023\" aria-describedby=\"caption-attachment-188023\" style=\"width: 1024px\" class=\"wp-caption alignnone\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"size-full wp-image-188023\" src=\"https:\/\/graziamagazine.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/03\/00042-Jil-Sander-RTW-Fall-21.jpg\" alt=\"Jil Sander Fall Winter 2021\" width=\"1024\" height=\"1536\" \/><figcaption id=\"caption-attachment-188023\" class=\"wp-caption-text\">Image: Jil Sander<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n<p class=\"p1\">&#8220;There is a clich\u00e9 tied to minimalism that it\u2019s cold, gray, kind of boring, and too non-human, too industrialised,&#8221; said Luke Meier <a href=\"https:\/\/www.ssense.com\/en-us\/editorial\/fashion\/meet-the-meiers\" target=\"_blank\">in a 2018 interview<\/a>. I think that at the core of the Jil Sander brand, there\u2019s this element of emotion of being very simple and stripped down to the bare essentials. That\u2019s what is really the essence of the brand. There isn\u2019t anything superfluous. And so you arrive at a purity. But it\u2019s also very emotional. Achieving that balance is difficult. But when it\u2019s done well, it can be incredible.&#8221;<\/p>\n<p>The Meiers&#8217; constant striving for aesthetic purity has made them natural predecessors to Phoebe Philo\u2014whose tenure at C\u00e9line has become the stuff of modern fashion legend. Like Philo, Luke and Lucie Meier offer a highly intellectual take on feminine design, pieces that are demure\u2014modest, even\u2014and yet feel hyper-modern thanks to clever cuts, compelling prints, and clever design tricks.<\/p>\n<figure id=\"attachment_188024\" aria-describedby=\"caption-attachment-188024\" style=\"width: 1024px\" class=\"wp-caption alignnone\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"size-full wp-image-188024\" src=\"https:\/\/graziamagazine.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/03\/00033-Jil-Sander-RTW-Fall-21.jpg\" alt=\"Jil Sander Fall Winter 2021\" width=\"1024\" height=\"1536\" \/><figcaption id=\"caption-attachment-188024\" class=\"wp-caption-text\">Image: Jil Sander<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n<p>Above all, Fall21 was a testament to the way beautiful clothing serves as a kind of balm for the soul, something we are all\u2014it goes without saying\u2014desperately in need of right now. The collection debuted in a short film directed by long-time Jil Sander collaborator Stephen Kidd, scored with original music by the British-German musician Anika, whose throaty warbles are eerily reminiscent of another chic German transplant, the late great Nico.<span class=\"Apple-converted-space\">\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p>The overall effect was a kind of meditative calm\u2014the sartorial equivalent to taking a deep, nourishing exhale. <a href=\"https:\/\/graziamagazine.com\/runways\/jil-sander-rtw-aw17-milan\/\">Brands like Jil Sander<\/a> feel increasingly rare in the age of manic social media consumption and a still-terrifying amount of fast fashion wastage. It&#8217;s for this reason, that every new collection doubles as a kind of manifesto for the way the fashion industry should look going forward: restrained, thoughtful, and exquisitely beautiful.<\/p>\n<figure id=\"attachment_188025\" aria-describedby=\"caption-attachment-188025\" style=\"width: 1024px\" class=\"wp-caption alignnone\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\"
