An exploration of the codes of elegance twisted and turned in ways that speak of the moment. Color and texture come to the fore as Rodolfo Paglialunga works in subtraction to create silhouettes that are bold, with a pervading ease for Jil Sander. 

Shoulders are gently marked. Welcoming volumes flow vertically and graciously. Padding, quilting and ribbing give presence and depth, weightlessly. The dialogue between clothing and body in a ritual of mutual courting, from a distance, highlighted by strong layers and subtle asymmetries.

Severity and frivolity are constantly juxtaposed. Double face cashmere, wool felt, chenille, metallic lurex further expand the dialogue between luxury and ease, femininity and strictness, which carries on in the accessories: sturdy pumps with rubber toes, delicate earrings
