Lucie and Luke Meier presented their last show for Jil Sander

The culmination of eight years of creation at Jil Sander

Presented on Wednesday morning, the Jil Sander show now carries a certain sense of nostalgia. Just hours after Lucie and Luke Meier, who have led the brand’s creative direction since 2017, revealed their latest Fall-Winter 2025-2026 collection, their departure was officially announced. While rumors had been circulating for weeks, the news still left attendees reflective—without realizing it, they had just witnessed the duo’s final show.

The silhouettes, predominantly dark, mark the culmination of the aesthetic the Meiers have meticulously crafted over the past eight years. While hints of color and the feminine, sensual touches from their earlier collections remain, this season leans heavily into the strong, slightly rock-inspired allure they’ve been refining in recent years. Ultra-desirable, the pieces feature shimmering fringes, fur-trimmed shoulders, and metallic breastplates, shaping a fashion language that is as artistic, sharp, and powerful as the duo themselves.

The show’s setting only heightened the solemnity of the moment. The floor was draped in black velvet, and heavy black curtains lined the walls, focusing all attention on Lucie and Luke Meier’s creations. And while most of the designs themselves explored shades of black, the textures—whether satin trousers, a fringe-embroidered top, or a feather-adorned dress—shimmered against the darkness.

Among the standout pieces was a long turquoise fur coat with a leopard print, a rectangular-cut satin jacket in soft blush pink, and a sleek cream-colored gown decorated with fur epaulettes. In short, a cohesive and highly desirable collection that beautifully concludes the Meier era at Jil Sander.
