Jil Sander


German designer Jil Sander became known for her minimalist designs in 1990s. Her most popular designs being tailored pant suits, a slim blouse and a form fitting coat. Jil Sander is one of Marshall's favourite designers and it is clear to see similarities within their work. Sander is often referred to as the 'master of minimalism' which isn't dissimilar to names that Marshall has been called as she also works from minimalist silhouettes. Sander began designing clothes for women that were conquering executive positions in the 1980s, that were self confident and looking for subtlety and elegance in their appearances. The Hannah Marshall women bares the same qualities - power and confidence. They also work from the same minimal colour palette of black, blue, beige, grey and white. It is clear to see that Jil Sander is an inspiration to the work of Hannah Marshall.
