Acne Studios' Men's Clothing Boasts Deconstructed Silhouettes
References: acnestudios & highsnobiety
Acne Studios' men's clothing options for the Spring/Summer 2019 season break the conventional method of talking about clothes. Jonny Johansson — the brand's Creative Director, is waging a war on traditional archetypes within the fashion industry. With his accessible line-up, he is aiming to destabilize the way we talk about garments.
The key focus of the collection is misinterpretation. Johansson attempts to bring creative answers to hypothetical situations where one is asked to "describe a pair of jeans [but] is actually talking about a blouson." Acne Studios men's clothing reflects this thorough minimalist yet sculptural silhouettes that call for attention. From actual jeans cut as blousons to "an M-1965 field jacket cut as a city coat," the Spring/Summer 2019 collection is definitely strange.
