  • Sander is recognized for her severe, minimal forms and her use of delicate, quality fabrics.
  • During the 1980s, she popularized a distinguished, form fitting pantsuit for women in neutral colors.
  • Since selling the label to Prada Group in 1999, the company has changed hands several times. Sander is no longer involved in the company in a creative role.
  • Belgian Raf Simons was hired as creative director in 2005.
