Campagna - 4/6/23
Andalusia, Spain. The Sierra de las Nieves Natural Park. Fields, meadows, rivers, flowers, hills. Endless. The images Nikki McClarron has taken to reverberate Lucie and Luke Meier’s new Jil Sander+ collection suggest silence. They invite us to listen to the sound of nature, softly mottled by our presence, our steps, our reverence. To look. Raindrops on water, a peacock. A woman and a man, calm and in awe. The textures of what they wear, their movements, and those of the landscape reverberate each other. Colours and lights quickly vary and merge. McClarron and the Meiers have a distinctive sensitivity for dramatic landscapes, for the ways background and figures melt. Here awareness and balance are essential. This is what Jil Sander+ stands for. Elevated garments, in precious materials and thoughtful details, made for life in nature, combining versatility and performance, comfort and high aesthetic quality. A seasonal collection that complements the world of Jil Sander with a series of single, functional pieces, for both men and women; or unisex. Everything in these pictures is nuanced. A subtle, personal story made of single images, inspired by what is not made by humans.
