Jil Sander's always done her own thing. At her debut menswear show following her (second) return to her namesake label, Sander said, "You have to break rules." And that's pretty much what she's doing with her forthcoming womenswear show, which will be her first since returning to the label.

Perhaps the jam-packed schedule had something to do with her decision or there were some other restrictions she didn't want to contend with or rules she just wanted to break.

She's also probably well aware that she's one of the Milan shows that no one's going to want to miss.
