Jil Without Raf

So Stefano Pilati is out at Yves Saint Laurent and Hedi Slimane might be in, Raf Simons is out at Jil Sander and Jil Sander is apparently...heading back to Jil Sander. It's fashion musical chairs round twothousandsixty.

 

I personally would be über-excited to see Hedi Slimane work at YSL (no offense Pilati, your stuff was good too, especially the earlier collections), but Raf Simons leaving Jil Sander breaks my little fashion heart. He did offer up a good swan song though with the A/W 12 collection.

 

The only question that remains is, and depending on whether the rumour is even true, how will Simons minimalism fair at the house of Dior?

She feels that my sentimental side should be held with kid gloves
But she doesn't know that I left my urge in the icebox

Been listening to this song on repeat. Freud away if you wish on that one.
