Jil Sander
Jil Sander is a luxury brand dedicated to modern design and innovation. It defines the wardrobe of women and men fusing elegance and functionality, invention and purity of form, and exceptional craftsmanship with the most refined materials and advanced production techniques. Jil Sander’s approach to fashion is defined by the search for a long-lasting style executed with exceptional craftsmanship and innovative materials, reverberating modern design.
Launched in 1968 by Jil Sander, the fashion house presented its first women’s collection in Hamburg in 1973. The clean-lined designs signalled luxury clothes for a new generation of businesswomen. Three years later, Jil Sander GmbH was founded in Hamburg. In 1994, the brand’s first showroom opened in Milan, later becoming the creative and operative headquarters of the company.
The first Jil Sander men’s collection was presented in Milan in January 1997, introducing a very specific vision, through clear yet comfortable cuts and extremely refined tailoring. With a creative legacy of streamlined purity, the brand has pioneered a different conception of luxury and elegance, enriching the world of fashion with a distinctive voice and an original approach to design.
In March 2021, Jil Sander was acquired by OTB, joining the group’s stable of fashion brands. Simone Bellotti joined as Creative Director in March 2025.
