History

Founded in Hamburg in 1968 by Jil Sander, the brand gained international prominence during the 1990s. It played a pivotal role in the minimalist movement, challenging the opulent styles of the previous decade. The house has undergone several leadership changes, including acquisitions by the Prada Group and later OTB Group. Its historical significance lies in redefining modern professional attire through a focus on purity of form and architectural tailoring.
