Designer Jil Sander will again collaborate with Uniqlo for a new collection that will be retailed this autumn. The collection will be named +J. The 76-year-old designer who last quit the house she founded in October 2013, indicated that +J would concentrate on her fortes of minimalist design; pure silhouette and quality fabrics.

Sander launched her first Uniqlo collab with a selection of 40 pieces for men and women that included coats, jackets, knitwear and her signature form-fitting white Egyptian cotton T-Shirts. After three years, the two sides jointly ended the association in 2011, before then relaunching a one-off, best-off collection in 2014.

Sander started her career as fashion editor for a German fashion magazine. In this function, she organized and supervised fashion shootings. More often than not, she had trouble in achieving the look she had in mind. To improve the design pieces, she contacted the producers with her suggestions and proposed certain changes to their designs. Thereafter, the biggest producer of high-tech fabrics proposed that she design for him.
