Following the success of her two previous +J collections for Uniqlo, Jil Sander has announced that she will continue to design the range for the Japanese high street giant.The German designer, famous for her classic tailoring using luxurious fabrics and cool minimalist style, has revealed that she will produce a third +J collection for Uniqlo to launch in the autumn and is looking into the possibility of adding bags and shoes to the line at some point in the future.
Sander, who is more than a year into her deal with Uniqlo and its parent company Fast Retailing, has already produced two +J collections of affordable signature Sander pieces, such as classic winter coats, sharp tailoring, box pleat skirts and crisp cotton shirts, which were a critical and commercial hit.
"Since I'm very, very impressed with what we can do and what Uniqlo can do, I decided to go on," Sander told WWD. "I try as much as possible to give you a great basic product and what comes out, I feel, is really amazing."
Hear, hear.
