Jil Sander to continue partnership with Uniqlo

In January, Jil Sander took her decision, she will be designing her +J line indefinitely for Uniqlo, and may expand the collection with bags and shoes.
“I try as much as possible to give you a great basic product and what comes out, I feel, is really amazing,” Sander said, adding she has been pleasantly surprised at the quality of many affordable fabrics, including high-tech cottons, silks and cashmere. “You don’t have to pay more to have a great form.”
So do expect more edgy design by the avant-garde designer !

First Armani hotel opens in Dubai
Last March, I was really sad to hear that the opening of the Armani hotel had to be delayed due to problems with the elevators of the Burj Khalifa, the tallest tower ever built in the world. I was in fact in Dubai for Art Dubai and this opening was supposed to coincide with the fair. The PR was telling me that "no, Giorgio wouldn't be in Dubai"...
Anyway, the 432,000-square-foot hotel boasting 160 guest rooms and 144 private residences, all outfitted (of course) in Armani’s own Casa line which I totally love, finally opened in April. Armani is set to build at least 10 more hotels within the next 10 years, with locations in Marrakech, Marassi, Egypt, New York, Tokyo, Shanghai, and London, but it's no surprise that Dubai has come first.
