JIL SANDER DEBUTS NEW PHOTO BOOK

by Stephen Garner

Presented for the first time at Jil Sander Via Sant’Andrea space in Milan in February 2020, Sicily is a collection of photographs by long-time brand contributor Olivier Kervern captured on a road trip around the Italian island with the brand’s creative directors Lucie and Luke Meier in October 2019.

The images featured in the volume display Jil Sander men and women collections with the sharp and sensitive approach that characterizes Kervern’s work, and reveal the distinctly analog realm jointly imagined by the Meiers and Kervern — where shadows, reflections, and lights both outline and blend, where time feels suspended, and intimacy with the place, with the people, and with the collection all merge into otherworldly images.

Sicily by Olivier Kervern was printed by Jil Sander Publishing in May 2020 and is now available for $110 at jilsander.com and select Jil Sander stores.
