Paris Fashion Week – Day 06: 1017 Alyx 9SM, Thom Browne, Jil Sander

The final day of Paris Fashion Week highlighted collections that celebrated the freedom of individuality, paid homage to the history of diversity, referenced Olympic themes and others focused on a subversive culture through the comfort of innovative silhouettes from high quality materials. Today’s highlights include 1017 Alyx 9SM, Thom Browne, and Jil Sander.

1017 Alyx 9SM “Beyond”

1017 Alyx 9SM (I.G. @alyxstudio) Spring-Summer 2022 collection focused on the ease of comfort, reflected by the use of soft stretch materials that provide an innovative silhouette without compromising on comfort. Shirt dresses, leggings, and bikinis made from technical stretch fabrics for luxury swimwear. Men’s pieces highlight an oversized silhouette along with jersey and towel materials.
Continuing its signature fusion of high-quality materials, subversive culture, and modern craftsmanship, this season’s collection features leather biker jackets and vests that protrude the back through the 3D development of a back armor that sits on the back. So too is the frayed jersey motif on sweatshirts, T-shirts, sweatpants, and jeans, made from a special manual and technical treatment.

Jil Sander

Lucie and Luke Meier presented for the Jil Sander (I.G. @JilSander)) Spring-Summer 2022 collection that celebrates individuality. The personal style is reflected through the play between materials, colors, shapes and volumes, resulting in a series of unique pieces that make up an eclectic collection where the uniqueness of each look becomes the general trend.

This is a sharp urban collection about the right, and duty, to individuality and imagination. About multicultural cities that lead us to appreciate and absorb diversity; to combine different things, different facets of ourselves, in ways that are unprecedented and effortless at the same time.

Jil Sander

Straight and voluminous jackets, shirts and coats, with utilitarian pants. Contrasts between a color palette ranging from off-white and charcoal, soft yellow, pale blue, mint, pink, lilac, and cocoa. Blocks of color that gain more importance from the diversity of fabrics used (eg. cotton, linen, silk and wool) to an all red leather look, coupled with the use of graphic elements appear throughout the collection that give sharpness, texture and detailed tactility to the pieces.

The time of confinement that has been experienced would not imply that the individualistic style is over, but rather that the time in isolation served as an oven to present a new series of unique looks that the new fashionista has been preparing to show in the post-covid era.
