The Jil Sander show by Raf Simon opens on an English note. The first matching grey suits fit in with the current trend of the slim trouser and the belted jacket. Little by little the models display printed fabrics of green, red and blue marbled veins on a black background. At the heart of the Raf Simon collection we are crept up on by the gradual presentation of this black and white marble pattern which becomes increasingly prominent. Two bright red and cyan blue suits brighten this fall winter 2008/09 collection. Close-fitting clothes are the trend, such as the leather suit at the end of the show which shows the chest like a leotard.
