Focusing on bold pops of the color red and some jewel-toned color fabrics, the new Acne Fall/Winter 2012 collection adds a fair amount of color and pattern to its modern line of suited separates, casual wear and outerwear. And, although it seems to be straying away from the more androgynous styles of asymmetrical pieces with draping details that it has done in the past, the label still infuses its signature style and postmodern tailoring into its garments.
Polka dot patters, shiny leathers and fury-textured sweaters are key elements used to unify this diverse collection. Acne has been creating quite a name for itself as a youth brand in recent years and is available is specialty boutiques almost everywhere. The new Acne Fall/Winter 2012 line will surely be one that brings even more attention to this up-and-coming fashion label.
