Armored Jeans

Warrior Chic for the Street in Acne Spring/Summer 2010

Acne’s armored jeans are wearable warrior chic. In their Spring/Summer 2010 lookbook, the ultra-hip fashion label has embellished skinny jeans and denim jackets with battle-ready shiny metal plates on the knees, shoulders and elbows.
