Minimalism Lives On

The New York Times weights in on the new Jil Sander store in SOHO..."not a bag, shoe, or double-faced cashmere coat in sight," with an aptly titled article: It’s About...Nothing. Despite several changes in ownership, the new creative director Raf Simmons continues to respect Jil Sander's spirit of minimalism in his approach to both fashion and interior design. He collaborated with Germaine Kruip, a Dutch artist who works with space and light to create the interior of the new store. Although Sander stores have always been spare, it remains to be seen how long the space will show simply nothing.
