thurston may heart the who, but raf hearts the anna

I don't have anything intelligent to say about Jil Sander other than it was very Riot Grrrl/sleek office girl/Anna Wintour, aka awesome. It is too late in the evening and I am too hyped up about how much I loved it to try to delve into anything that goes beyond that.
The first few all-black looks were too repetitive and the couple pink/black one-shoulder dresses seemed out of place and done before, but other than that, this is how I want to look, all the time:
Jil Sander Fall 10
Jil Sander Fall 10
You must give all of these looks each their own time for your undivided attention.
I like how the traditional plaid is in a couple looks but in others it's just barely there and updated to something softer in texture and color scheme but stronger in silhouette.
The body suit that is in the center of the bottom collage is a whole other kind of "bodycon".
The boots and ponytail are A+.
one, two, three

I love the GLIMPSE of A.Dubulyew we get at the end. Too perfect!

Really great collection. I can totally see the Anna Wintour thing. Those modest, Chanel tweed dresses. Amazing that you can form these great ideas at what? Midnight there? Amazing. Really great collection. Jill Sander is the true face of minimalism.

blukats said...

Red dress top row, great neckline! I like that. Fashion needs more little tweaks like that.

If the boots were just a little higher on the calf it would be very 1960's. They are just low enough to get by that.

wow it really is very ana wintour<333


There is the Little Rock Designer Choice preview show March 27 in Arkansas.

You should totally go! haha, i'd love to see you there.

korto momolu is hosting it.

Rumi Neely said...

I do very like the how pared down this is..I feel like this could easily have been a collection from years ago but in a good way. People always get all weird about boots that cut off right at that midcalf point and I even remember a Sartorialist post hammering that point in but it kind of makes me want to own a pair more?? Hmm but then again no one really sells them...probably for that reason. End ramble.

It was so nice finally meeting you in NY xxxx

Plaid has needed an update for a while. I love these, I want these, esp. that grey shorts one-piece. I'd love to see a plaid update a la McQueen Fall/Winter '09.

Nice picks, baby!

I've always had on obsession with plaid so this collection was really amazing for me to see, I think that I like this collection now because of the day I'm having it's so weird because one day you can hate something and the next day you can love it, I guess this is just fashion.

Hi, Tavi.
First I just should say: your blog's amazing!
Then I should mention that, sometimes I think about a fashion show:" _This look is completely not wearable!" Few months later is just what I intend to use instead of outdated silhouettes.
But I love Jill Sander of course!

Hello Tavi,

How are you?

I woke up to this post this morning - what a hilarious start to my day!
Thank you for your unfailing ability to make me laugh.

I am a fellow fashion blooger. You can view my blog at www.styleserendipity.blogspot.com. I emailed you, but did not receive a response. I also read on your blog that the best way to get in touch with other bloggers is commenting on their blog (so here I am! :) I am not the Proenza boys or the Rodarte girls, but I would love to hear from you!

Hi there.

Like the other over-10,000-followers-who-suck-up-your-follower-limit-so-I-cant-follow-you-argh, I am truly amazed by not only your articulate yet quirky critique on all things fashion, but also your mastery of sarcastic-snarky-humor-witticism [it's a word, because I say so].

Not to mention you know who [and love!] Kathleen Hanna, Lou Reed, etc. are..

Also, not to mention the ice blue hair..and ability to make the way I dressed at your age appeal to people and change minds as opposed to just writing X-Files fanfic [dontjudgeme!] in your best friends attic wearing old lady hats and a pillow case as a dress.

Ha.
Anyway, enough rambling. Nice to meet ya. I'm Anjle. Stop by and say hi sometime!

it's interesting how the comments section of your blog has become a place for other bloggers to promote THEMSELVES, instead of any fostering meaningful conversations about YOUR posts. ANYWAY.

great review, i felt it was spot-on. i loved jil sander. very modern, clean, and sleek. i guess raspberry is going to be in for fall. heavily enjoying the one-pieces. i feel like look#9 is something i could feasibly wear to the office. style+functionality=A+ in my book.

Camila said...

I agree with you in the ponytails, the looked GREAT.
I love your blog tavi so if you can come and see mine, it's new! :)

jil sander is always one of my favorites. i love the 90's reference, and LOVE the vintage sci-fi element. two major, constant influences for me creatively.

this show, more than any other, really expressed how the look-order is exactly like creating a mix-tape. and this show was one kick-ass mix-tape.

zoomslow said...

Hey! :-) I also like this collection (from what you've shown here). It exudes a kind of relaxed, feminine, intelligence. However, I would have liked to see a bit more variation in silhouette and proportion. Most of these garments seem to read in a very similar way.

Hehe - don't you just love my critical comments regarding the work of these designers who have shed blood, sweat and tears to bring us their wares. I'm sure that when (and I say 'when' rather than 'if' - as I'm generally an optimist) I manage to produce a collection, I'm really certain that there won't be a single thing wrong with it - and everyone will love it. Yes, yes I'm sure ;-)

P.S Anna, if you're reading this - I'm a big fan! And if you're ever in need of some clothes to fill out that nice little magazine that you run...

page said...

my friend has a gold lamé body suit which that center body suit brought to my mind. she calls it "the taco smuggler", and I really think it's not a bad name, considering the silhouette.

I really enjoy your blog and your fashion sensibility. Hooray to all of the press you've received recently, as it brought me (and, i am sure, many other readers) to your blog. Cheers!

CR-AFT said...

So I had no idea you were in this miniseries Tavi:

If you haven't read/watched Pride and Prejudice yet, I highly recommend any and all of the versions out there... if anything you should watch some of them for the beautiful costumes and fabrics on display. Guess which character I think you are! smiley face.

while watching I thought of Angelina Jolie (Lara Croft, Mr. and Mrs. Smith)), the Russian female spy, Momo/The Men in Grey and of course Matrix.

I like the back of the short red dress. The rips look like leftovers from a fight.

Madeleine and Maya said...

I agree, Raf Simons has helmed Jil Sander brilliantly ever since he became creative director! I loved this collection. Did you see the really blah review that Sarah Mower gave the collection from style.com? whatever. she's a downer.

tobes said...

for once you blogged about something i care about. well with the exception of James Franco and 30 rock!. but as far as i am concered the only jil sander collection that should be put into consideration is thier A/W 09 collection beats ElIe Saab's A/W09 collection.
with the S/S10 collection they were just fafing about!

Her said...

Such lovely masterpieces, eh? Ah, I have the book in the fourth photograph, Radical Feminism. It's a really good read, I recommend it you you Tavi.

And, I read what a certain member of the Hilton wrote about you on his site. I hope you ignored it and illuminated it out of your mind. He's just bursting with jealousy, Tavi, you can see it. He's probably worried that in a couple of years time you'll be the one-top fashion blogger. & he'll be out of his job. He'll end up being your messenger boy (: You looked stunning at the Marc Jacobs show, btw. Truely picturesque, especially the shoes. Where can I get those..?

Thanks for the inspiration.

Love love love the pant suits! Would have liked to see a little more drama in the makeup to go along with the effects of the music. Other than that, Jil Sander presents a sophisticated power woman.

Did they give you clues?
The clothes are very pared-down, truant Brit schoolgirl escapee, very recession-proof for those with big pocketbooks no doubt.
I love the cross formation of the catwalk.

I JUST saw a stupid report on German TV about people who dyed their hair grey, and they used you and Kate Moss as an example, and THEN stupid TV said that this was an awesome trend. But I think the real awesomness are those reporters who can't tell the difference between blue and grey hair.
And I don't even see a problem in grey hair.

Dear Tavi,
I know this is probably a repeat of every single comment you have ever gotten but I just have to say it. You have such a beautiful blog. It's quite fantastic. I do liek the looks you have there but don't you think it's just a bit too grown up looking? The looks are so beautiful but they just look so stiff. That's just my opinion but I love the look anyway.


By the way, again, Nice blog and so inspiring. Your blog has always inspired me with my own crafts and outfits. Keep it going.
