Brand story and character

Jil Sander launched in Hamburg in 1968, presented its first womenswear collection in 1973, and later established Jil Sander GmbH. A Milan showroom opened in 1994 and became the creative and operational headquarters, while the first menswear collection appeared there in 1997.

Minimalism, precise cutting, and visual discipline define a house of modern design and innovation. Elegance, function, pure form, craftsmanship, and refined materials create confidence without display.

The first wave of Jil Sander perfumes dates to 1979 and includes Pure Woman and Pure Man. Sun, Style, Pure, Simply Jil Sander, Sport, Strictly Jil Sander, Ultrasense, and Jil later formed a long-running fragrance layer within the fashion identity.

Prada Group acquired the brand in 1999, followed by OTB Group in March 2021. Fashion, accessories, and fragrance continue to express a clean, strict, and contemporary international aesthetic.
