Jackets buttoned high with their lines occasionally interrupted by raw hems and carefully engineered folds. Dresses and skirts were finished with clustered strips of georgette that were meant to create the effect of a book\u2019s pages flickering in motion. The architecture came from double-faced leather and weightless wool, while zip-up knits, taut jumpers, and crisp shirts seemed perfect to add to the wardrobe for layering.<\/span><\/p>\n<figure id=\"attachment_66728\" aria-describedby=\"caption-attachment-66728\" style=\"width: 683px\" class=\"wp-caption alignnone\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"size-large wp-image-66728\" src=\"https:\/\/graziamagazine.com\/me\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/16\/2025\/10\/Jil-Sander-S26-look-36-683x1024.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"683\" height=\"1024\" srcset=\"https:\/\/graziamagazine.com\/me\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/16\/2025\/10\/Jil-Sander-S26-look-36-683x1024.jpg 683w, https:\/\/graziamagazine.com\/me\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/16\/2025\/10\/Jil-Sander-S26-look-36-200x300.jpg 200w, https:\/\/graziamagazine.com\/me\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/16\/2025\/10\/Jil-Sander-S26-look-36-768x1152.jpg 768w, https:\/\/graziamagazine.com\/me\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/16\/2025\/10\/Jil-Sander-S26-look-36-1024x1536.jpg 1024w, https:\/\/graziamagazine.com\/me\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/16\/2025\/10\/Jil-Sander-S26-look-36-1365x2048.jpg 1365w, https:\/\/graziamagazine.com\/me\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/16\/2025\/10\/Jil-Sander-S26-look-36-400x600.jpg 400w, https:\/\/graziamagazine.com\/me\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/16\/2025\/10\/Jil-Sander-S26-look-36-143x215.jpg 143w, https:\/\/graziamagazine.com\/me\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/16\/2025\/10\/Jil-Sander-S26-look-36-150x225.jpg 150w, https:\/\/graziamagazine.com\/me\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/16\/2025\/10\/Jil-Sander-S26-look-36-scaled.jpg 1707w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 683px) 100vw, 683px\" \/><figcaption id=\"caption-attachment-66728\" class=\"wp-caption-text\">Photo: Supplied<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Colour and texture were a major part of the line-up, with a palette that varied from sober neutrals to dusty pastels and a handful of brights, and fabrics.

In typical Jil Sander taste, accessories included square-toed lace-ups, cut-out ballerinas, kitten-heeled brogues and pared-back sandals.
