German-based comfort brand Birkenstock has linked with Jil Sander creative directors and married couple Lucie and Luke Meier on a collection of sandals reinterpreting the Arizona, Milano and the Berlin styles and a new silhouette called the Velan. Built on the existing Berlin clog silhouette, the Velan features soft nappa leather ankle straps.

Commenting on the collaboration, Birkenstock CEO Oliver Reichert said, “We chose to work with Jil Sander, believing in the new interpretation of Lucie and Luke Meier. In our view, they have given this important brand relevance and authenticity. Together we achieved what we always strive for, real newness and product innovation.”

Prior to Jil Sander, Luke was a lead designer at Supreme and a co-founder of OAMC, a menswear label. Lucie’s design resume is stacked with luxury labels including Dior, Balenciaga and Louis Vuitton.

Jil Sander was purchased by Only the Brave from the Japanese company Onward in March 2021 and is part of a roster of labels including Maison Margiela, Marni, Viktor & Rolf, Amiri, and Diesel. The Meiers were appointed creative directors of the label in 2017, not long after founder Jil Sander had departed the label for a third time.

Priced from $475-$740, Birkenstock and Jil Sander’s collaborative capsule will launch on July 1, 2021 at jilsander.com, 1774.com and mytheresa.com. The collection will launch at Jil Sander stores and select stores globally on July 8th.

For fall winter 2025 KNWLS opted to forego a runwa For fall winter 2025 KNWLS opted to forego a runway show and present their collection in a styled lookbook.

Taking inspiration from a feminine Y2K aesthetic, the collection embodies designers Charlotte Knowles and Alexandre Arsenault’s ability to balance sexy and cool. 

In an interview with Vogue, the pair shared that they are currently working on a new design director role in Europe and have several other projects in the pipeline, including another denim project, a collaboration with a jewelry brand, and a menswear capsule for an e-commerce site.

Commenting on the lookbook styling, they shared, "Obviously in the lookbooks it's styled in a quite extreme way, but if you break it down into individual pieces, we've been thinking about merchandising and the customer more than ever before," said Arsenault. "We've seen the team in the studio wearing the pieces differently too, and we've taken that into account. It's a nice challenge to say: 'Okay, we want to make a sweatshirt, but it still has this silhouette or wash or rib detail that makes it feel really Knwls."
