Collection: LOOK 2 - last season meet last decade

Between the back of the skirt being pleated and the cropped shirt, the more classic front of the pieces is mirrored in this German, minimalistic design by Jill Sander. This icon of less returned to her namesake brand in 2012 and led it to newfound glory, of which these shoes are a prime example. This fashion house makes a point of focussing on simple and clean shapes created of the highest quality materials. The interestingly designed heel in white, gold and grey is shaped like a pedal stone, holding up a work of art. As another detail, decorating the front: a golden ankle bracelet is to be seen. These shoes have not been on the runway, but are estimated to be around 2018, based on the aforementioned ankle decorations. 

Last but not least a Christian Dior coat, from the era of John Galliano. This beautiful coat had a silk lining that didn’t stand the test of time and had to be exchanged. The design on the other had passed said test and is as elegant as ever. For a time at Dior that was known for opulence and extravagance, this piece is rather understated. Its tapered cut, reinforced by two pockets, beautifully shapes the body. The prominently featured covers of the pockets are reminiscent of the hip pads worn in France in the 18 century, in a modernized and flattering way. Overall the coat could be inspired as well by French menswear from the same period, some design inspirations from Marie Antionette's time cannot be denied. Not looking back so far in fashion history: fall 2009, ready to wear collection. The buttons of the here-to-be-seen coat allow us to estimate this garment around the aforementioned collection.
