Simone Bellotti made a poised and thoughtful entrance at Jil Sander with his first runway collection for the house. Known for his prior work at Dior Homme and his own label, Bellotti brings a keen eye for tailoring and a sensitivity to the body in motion, qualities that defined this debut.
The collection explored proportion, posture, and subtle gestures, balancing sharply tailored shirting with flowing maxi skirts and translucent dresses. Leather appeared sparingly, adding structure without overpowering the silhouette. Shades of blue, electric, cyan, and deep indigo, punctuated an otherwise neutral palette, creating moments of clarity within minimal compositions.
Bellotti described his work as a curiosity for the body, using clothing to invite proximity while emphasizing form. The result was a debut that honored Jil Sander’s minimalist roots while introducing Bellotti’s own expressive touch. In a season of fashion spectacle with many exciting debuts, the collection stood out for its quiet precision and considered details.
