For their final Jil Sander collection, titled 'A bright metaphor of love', the Meiers created a tactile collection built around turning darkness ('the hues that seem to soak our times,' they said) into light, with plush shearling coats and ribbon-adorned gowns shown alongside tinsel-esque fringed skirts and dresses and silk shirts with sequin bib detailing, that shimmered as they caught the light.
In a release, Lucie and Luke Meier expressed their ‘heartfelt gratitude’ to the brand’s owner OTB and the teams at Jil Sander. OTB Group chairman Renzo Rosso also thanked the duo for ‘their vision, passion for excellence, and dedication to the brand.’
