Hamburg, May 26, 2005 – JIL SANDER announces today that it has named Mr. Raf
Simons as its new Creative Director, effective July 1, 2005.
Simons will be responsible for the Jil Sander women’s and men’s collections,
starting with the Fall/Winter 2006 season to be presented in Milan at the
beginning of 2006.
Born in Neerpelt, Belgium in 1968, Raf Simons graduated in industrial design
and started his career as a furniture designer for galleries and private
interiors. Always interested in fashion, Raf Simons debuted with his own
collection in 1995 and since then, has won a number of prestigious
international awards in the fashion industry. In addition, Raf Simons was
appointed head-professor at the University of Applied Arts in Vienna since
2000.
“I couldn’t be happier to work for a brand as pure and clean as Jil Sander,”
Raf Simons declared. “I am eager to carry forward the simple, pristine design
that the Jil Sander name has come to represent. There is a strong affinity
between how I perceive my own design and the core values that the Jil Sander
brand embraces.”
“We are excited about this decision, which we have made together with the
PRADA Group,” said Gian Giacomo Ferraris, Chief Executive Officer of JIL
SANDER. “Working with Raf Simons will insure strong continuity in the product
that has distinguished the JIL SANDER brand throughout the world.”
