Exclusive and Limited Special Edition

For the first time, this book offers access to the career and personal story of Jil Sander. The iconic fashion designer provides insight into her visionary work and artistic sensitivity, which have always kept her a step ahead of her time.

For decades, Jil Sander has stood for a philosophy of "less is more," embracing a minimalist aesthetic whose poetic purism is based on the highest quality materials and exceptional craftsmanship.

In this book, which Jil Sander has curated with the same care as her collections, she opens her archives and provides a comprehensive look into her impressive career as a designer and entrepreneur – from her beginnings in the late 1960s through the 1990s, when her name became one of the most renowned in the entire fashion industry, to her partnership with Uniqlo, where she created the special line +J. Unfazed by trends, Jil Sander remained true to her core principles in fashion, cosmetics, architecture, and the interior design of her multinational flagship stores.

In addition to visual spreads of legendary campaigns and insights into photoshoots, previously unpublished archival material allows a closer look at the creative processes of the publicity-shy designer. The result is Jil Sander's ultimate statement, the manifestation of a story of artistic intuition, integrity, and determination.

This exclusive and strictly limited special edition is delivered in a high-quality clamshell box designed by the award-winning designer Irma Boom. Included is a signed and numbered print of Jil Sander's legendary campaign portrait by Francesco Scavullo, artistically reworked by Irma Boom.
