Jil Sander was a fashion journalist prior to becoming a designer. She opened her first boutique in Hamburg in 1968 and launched her first women’s collection in 1973. Since then, her label has expanded to include a range of cosmetics and fragrances, as well as a menswear collection which debuted in 1993. Sander is well-known for her minimalist designs in neutral tones that combine exquisite tailoring with the use of luxurious fabrics.
