Jil Sander returns with a second collection of +J for UNIQLO this spring after a successful debut in October 2009. The first round of +J by Jil Sander for UNIQLO Spring/Summer 2010 collection is slated to hit the UNIQLO Soho store on Thursday, January 14, 2010.

For spring, Jil Sander “introduces fresh perspectives on volume, teamed with perfect harmony in fiber, color, optics, and touch. Experimentation is essential, but subtle, leading to new interplays of material and motion.” The Spring/Summer 2010 product price range from $49.50-$149.50 (Outerwear, Coats & Jackets), $39.50-$59.50 (Bottoms), $39.50 (Shirts), $49.50-$99.50 (Dresses), $10.50-$49.50 (Cut & Sewn) and $29.50-$129.50 (Knitwear).

Iconic simplicityLeaving sporty stereotypes behind, endorses functional elegance, dynamic textiles, and distinctive shapes. Softly articulated, silhouettes give free reign to movement and ease. Fabrics are straightforward, expertly woven, alluringly sculptured, neat and subtle. Initiating marriages of convenience between structure and fluidity, delicacy and determination, coupling strong characters for the common good.

Natural nobilityThe collection quietly bridges the emotional and the formal, femininity and masculinity, experience and evolution. Luxury lies in inspiration and discreet perfectionism, applied to truly modern tailoring. Environmental concerns move to the heart of research, engaging in clothing that is both responsible and innovative.

Clarity and LightnessOpting for the precision of airy colors, white and pure ivory feature as the radiant center of energy and confidence. Pastel hues, pearly reflections, and chalked out acids create luminous lightness. Waterproof textiles become more feminine, made of ultra-fine cotton, tech-satins and sumptuous wools with an overwhelming impression of liquidity.

There will be two other drop dates throughout the SS10 season





Azzedine Alaia spring 2009 lookbook - Kasia Struss, photo: Willy Vanderperre, stylist: Joe McKenna

Kasia Struss shot the Azzedine Alaia spring 2009 lookbook with photographer Willy Vanderperre and stylist Joe McKenna on November 24, 25 and 26, 2008 in Paris.

On The Imagist, Wayne ponders Azzedine Alaia's business model as the past, the present and the future of the fashion industry -

There is a lot of veneration going on in fashion but in the case of Azzedine Alaia, that aura of awe and respect is more than deserved. Beyond the proposition of his inarguable talent, there is also a great blueprint behind his business which a lot of young designers might want to look at as an ideal. No seasonal shows, no advertising, no freestanding boutique network, very little retail outlets and product that is about its own consistent identity, not the whims of a fashion moment. No wonder Alaia continues to sell out at places like Dover Street Market and designers like Rei Kawabuko and Miuccia Prada seek out a quiet, collaborative relationship with him. In this bracing new post-recession fashion world is the Azzedine Alia business model the future? TI wouldn't be mad if it were.
