Jil Sander
Worldwide Concept

The firm has been collaborating with German fashion designer Jil Sander since the design of her inaugural, 12,000 sf flagship store in Paris, which opened in March of 1993. Since that time, Gabellini Sheppard has designed and implemented 82 Jil Sander boutiques and showrooms worldwide. All of these spaces share the same spatial vocabulary - defined by pure, linear geometries, translucent, light-filled planes, floating surfaces, and suspended forms - yet each environment is designed to reflect the specificities of its site.

Through the years of its collaboration with the fashion design company, the firm has refined and continually augmented its core design to create fresh and unexpected interpretations of its own, now classic Jil Sander architecture, as is evident in the most recently completed 7,000 sf, three-level New York flagship store on 57th Street.
