Jil Sander Launches Lower Priced Line

Fashion house Jil Sander has announced that it will be launching a brand new, lower priced line.

The German label will be launching Jil Sander Navy in time for next spring. According to WWD it will have a more laid-back, sporty feel than the main collection - expect trenchcoats, T-shirts, lightweight jersey and knitwear and a selection of accessories.

Not only is it sure to be much in demand - it is designed by Raf Simons after all - the line will be less expensive than its catwalk counterpart. Which means that we'll be able to deck ourselves out in the clean, minimalist style that is the Jil Sander signature without breaking the bank. We can't wait.

More great looks from the 2010 resort collections. Black and white is always an easy look to pull together for an 'instantly classic" look. Michael Kors is leading the charge with his black and white cheetah print tops and dresses......I'm also lovin the Just Cavalli black and white one shoulder dress over skinny jeans; The print really does it for me. Not to be forgotten are the very ladylike pieces from Oscar de la renta.....the embroidered top and the black skirt accented with a large rose are a true hit. Let's face it, I'm that person who appreciates "extra stuff" on her clothes.
