Jil Sander Gets In On Diffusion Line Action

You won't be able to buy it until January 2011, but there will be a lower-priced Jil Sander line: Jil Sander Navy. We love Jil Sander but this doesn't sound barn-burning: the collection will include a lot of outerwear and knitwear, for about 40% less than the main line (Think maybe $320 for tees; the bulk of the collection going for $1,000 - $2,550.) It is, however, a smart business move for Raf Simons; Navy will be available exclusively online and at Jil Sander boutiques. [Fashionista]
