Most designers that watch runway shows during fashion month (NYC, London, Milan and Paris) often get inspired. When they see a particular look or design detail, it can also spark the question, “I wonder how they made that?”
This blogpost is a continuation of our coverage of fashion month and this time, we’re covering Milan Fashion Week, specifically the Spring Summer 2025 collection of the design duo, Luke & Lucie Meier, the brains behind the Jil Sander label. In our new series called “How Did They Make That?” we point to specific lessons in the University of Fashion video library where you can learn how a particular look or design detail is either draped, drafted or sewn.

Collars
Luke & Lucie Meier’s Spring/Summer 2025 collection for Jil Sander was a study in collars, blazers & trouser and faux a& genuine leather. Their collars included the shirt collar, the banded collar and the classic Peter Pan. Check out our lessons on how to draft these and other collar variations. For example, our Peter Pan collar lesson features three different types of collar stand: a one-inch roll, a half inch roll, and a flat version (as pictured in the Jil Sander look top right above).

Blazers, Trousers, Patent Leather & Genuine Leather
Oversized blazers have been a ‘thing’ for several seasons, for both women’s and men’s. And nobody does it better than the team at Jil Sander. Classic, roomy and chic as can be.
