Jil Sander by Raf Simons 2012 Resort Hummingbird Print Skirt

From Jil Sander’s Resort 2012 collection under Raf Simons, this white A-line skirt is distinguished by two large-scale hummingbird motifs printed across its otherwise minimal surface; contemporary coverage identifies the design as the collection’s hummingbird-print skirt. The vivid, almost photographic birds interrupt the clean silhouette with an unexpected naturalistic image, reflecting Simons’ ability to introduce bold graphic elements into Jil Sander’s precise minimalist language.
