Acne Studios introduced the third Blå Konst collection for Spring/Summer 2018 inspired by the works of Mexican sculptor Gabric Kuri. Jonny Johansson, the founder of Acne Studios has expressed his admiration of how Johansson perceives the world and that it resonates to the values of his brand -- in how the everyday is celebrated and examined. Some notable items from the label's new Blå Konst collection are the forest green combinations and the metallic silver offerings.
The capsule also features loose silhouettes, a plethora of colorful denim pieces and patterned offerings for the warmer season as well. In addition to the new seasonal garments, Johansson collaborated with Kuri himself, as the artist crafted 10 new art pieces to be displayed in Acne Studio store locations. The new Blå Konst collection is now available at Acne Studios stores globally and online.
