Heidemarie Jiline "Jil" Sander was born in Wesselburen, Germany. She is a German fashion designer. She studied at the University of California, Los Angeles. After her stint in UCLA, she moved on to New York as a magazine fashion writer. She founded her own fashion house Jil Sander in Rotherbaum, Hamburg, Germany in 1968 with her mother's sewing machine. She overcame a poorly received first Jil Sander Paris collection shown at the Plaza Athénée in 1975 and listed her company on the Frankfurt Stock Exchange at the end of the 1980s. In 1999, Prada Group bought a 75% share in her company. She remained creative designer and became chairwoman in the new joint venture. In January 2000, she unexpectedly resigned abruptly as chairwoman. On 17 March 2009, she announced the creation of her own fashion consultancy. The new company's first client was Fast Retailing of Japan with its Uniqlo label for whom Sander is overseeing the design of womenswear and menswear collections called +J. She was awarded the Bundesverdienstkreuz by the Federal Republic of Germany for her achievements in the fashion industry.
