JIL SANDER






Jil Sander Fall 2014.  ph by Marcus Tondo via Vogue.com 

Without Jil Sander herself, the design team showed a respectful Sander-ish collection at Milan Fashion Week.
With some pleats and folds, minimalistic and sculptural cuts and the pastel color palette with contrasting men shoes underneath,
i can definitely say: one of my favorites!

LISTING


The Five Piece French Wardrobe:
Thought about it quite some time but here it is, the list! (or half of it).

THE List!
1. A long/cosy wool scarf.
2. The ultimate perfect leather jacket.
3. Something Nike ID.
4......
5......

The rest of the list is not there yet. It seems like since i've given myself a amount of pieces which i'm allowed to buy, i've stopped thinking about shopping or buying clothes at all. When studying at an art academy, a person have to make priorities about spending money. For school or whatever. So this thought is really helping!

Conclusion at this stadium: this Five Piece French wardrobe thing is really working!

Wearing:
COS jumper
Scarf bought in Rome
vintage Dr. Martens shoes

SORT OF FIVE PIECE FRENCH WARDROBE


Thought about doing a sort of French wardrobe concept in a previous post. Buying less each season and purchase more timeless pieces i'm really missing out there in my closet makes me save money and having a wardrobe what is more combined.
Few years ago, I was like a crazy person running around shops and buying impulsive pieces all the time. They'd end up in charity now. Good for the environment, not for my wallet.
This society is buying more than we need, just because we can. A good start begins with yourself, so this is my beginning.

Some simple rules i have to follow:
- 5 pieces each season, must make a list of which pieces. If i don't, i know myself, i will break the rules.
- Basics and underwear not included. These items are always necessary.
- Only quality. So big no to acrylic/polyester ect... (Did this already).

Some extra's:
- Throw everything out. Items i didn't wore or touched for a year are out.
- Don't do internet shopping. Exception: only with a goal of one of the 5 items.
- Make more items myself instead.

The actual item list is coming up later. Since it's only 5 pieces each season i'll have to think about which one very carefully... (!)
So........ Who's with me?
