Raf Simons: Jill Sander No More

After joining the firm in 2005 and having built a super-strong fan base for Jil Sander, designer Raf Simons, was expected to show his last collection for the brand last week at Fashion Week, as he is leaving the company for good next Monday. Sources say Jil Sander herself, namesake of the brand and founder of the company, will be returning to lead the house that bears her name for the third time.

With nothing else to say than to wish Simons the best of luck on his endeavors, we will be posting soon as we are waiting to confirm rumors of his enrollment in a little French-based brand called Christian Dior. Though we can’t say it’s a fact, we would absolutely love to see Raf taking over the Fashion House!

Christian Dior is expected to drop names in the next few days, so it won’t be long (ahem- it’s been almost a year since Galliano was fired from the brand) until we find out the so-anticipated name.

Do you think he might be The One?
