Heidemarie Jiline "Jil" Sander is a minimalist German fashion designer and the founder of the Jil Sander fashion house. She has been described as the "Queen of Less”. Spare, clean and with an eye for ultra-luxe fabrics, Sander ushered in an age of understated elegance that revolutionized fashion, the brand rediscovered feminine luxury with a modern twist—a bold new direction which Jil Sander herself will explore after taking the reins once again at her eponymous house.
