Simone Bellotti made his debut as Jil Sander’s new creative director with the brand’s Spring-Summer 2026 collection during Milan Fashion Week, presenting crisp, light silhouettes rooted in modernist minimalism. Held at the brand’s headquarters near Sforzesco Castle, the show emphasized sharp tailoring, clean lines, and architectural precision, blending structure with subtle fluidity. Key pieces included structured coats, body-hugging knits, double-faced leather skirts with strategic slits, and dresses made from raw-edged Georgette crepe strips resembling book pages. Hidden embroidery created origami-like folds, while layered textures and restrained skin exposure added depth. Bellotti, who joined from Bally, described his vision as a balance between classicism and modernity, honoring Jil Sander’s legacy with a refined, intentional approach.
