# Sci-Fi Archival Plaid A Mix of the Future and the Past at Jil Sander Fall/Winter 2010 By Marissa Liu | Published 2010-02-28 | Fashion Source: Trend Hunter, https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/jil-sander-fall-winter-2010 References: [fashionologie](http://www.fashionologie.com/Raf-Simons-Digs-Up-90s-Plaids-Sets-Sci-Fi-Soundtrack-Jil-Sander-Fall-2010-7549121) & [rafsimons](http://www.rafsimons.com/) Designer Raf Simons sent models out marching to a sci-fi soundtrack and wearing office wear made of 90s-inspired plaid fabric. The Jil Sander Fall/Winter 2010 collection was minimalist, shapely and tailored just as expected but was punctuated with plaid the colour of fall leaves and peek-a-boo sheer paneling. Using the archives for inspiration is hardly new but casing Joan Smalls, Rose Cordero, Sun Feifei and Mengyao Ming Xi, all non-caucasian models is a step in a different direction for the brand that loves the Natasha Poly look.
