Luke and Lucie Meier – the creative couple
Lucie’s mother is a big Jil Sander fan as long as Lucie can remember. She always used to buy Jil Sander garments when Lucie was young and therefore it was Lucie’s first connection to fashion. Before her title at Jil Sander, she has been the head designer for Dior, after working at Louis Vuitton and Balenciaga.

Luke has quite a different background, namely as the head designer for Supreme and as the co-founder of OAMC – a brand that focuses on modern menswear with both a high sense of functionality and street wear influences. Quite an impressive couple, don’t you think?
Jil Sander
Since its establishment by the German Jil Sander, the namesake brand is known for its minimalistic and chic garments, perfect snits and high quality fabrics. According to the designers, clothes have to live with you. They have to serve you. It doesn’t hold on to the clichés around minimalism: the brand is warm, feminine and human. Furthermore, all unnecessary elements are eliminated. Looking at the used fabrics and the individual garments, the brand is full of contrasts, mixes, but overall it is balanced and gives a sense of calmness.

This sense of calmness was present during Milan Fashion Week. The Jil Sander SS19 show was majestic and minimalistic at the same time. Both Luke and Lucie Meier know how to create this state. Think of mono-colored outfits, bold mixtures of very different fabrics and decadent knits. Until now Jil Sander has been very good at predicting trends without being trends – let’s call it a sense of being and acting. In line with that: shall we all carry our bags upside down next summer? We guess so.
