Jil Sander Designers Step Down Amid Milan Fashion Week

Jil Sander's creative directors are stepping down. The brand revealed that it and Lucie and Luke Meier "have mutually decided that this collection would be the last of their collaboration," per a press release on Wednesday afternoon. The news came the same day as the husband-and-wife duo showed a Fall/Winter 2025 collection for the OTB Group-owned label during Milan Fashion Week.

The pair first took over as creative directors in 2017, following Rodolfo Paglialunga's three-year stint. The Meiers debuted their take on Jil Sander for the Spring/Summer 2018 collection. Over their eight year run at the Milan-based fashion brand, they've been credited for breathing fresh life into the mark, eponymously founded in 1968.

OTB Chairman Renzo Rosso "wishes to thank Lucie and Luke for their vision, passion for excellence, and dedication to the brand," the press release says.

Luke Meier formerly led design at Supreme for eight years, and Lucie helmed design on an interim basis at Dior (before Maria Grazia Chiuri). She also worked at Louis Vuitton and Balenciaga. The designers have yet to share any news on their next steps. So continues the creative director shuffle.

In the press release, the Meiers "[seized] this occasion to express their heartfelt gratitude to OTB and the Jil Sander teams who have consistently dedicated their energy, passion, and talent to this project, and [they] are proud of the work they have accomplished alongside such wonderful people," including Rosso.
