The Acne Studios Spring/Summer 2015 collection is based on designer Jonny Johansson’s personal style. The hipster-inspired collection is described as a “line that revolves around a pureness found in street sports but with a juxtaposing generosity of luxurious materials.”
This collection plays with the idea of reversed elements and embraces relaxed silhouettes that are definitive of today’s youthful generation.
Bringing back retro elements like Harrington jackets and beatnik-inspired hats, the Acne Studios Spring/Summer 2015 collection is a modern nod to nostalgia. The collection highlights boxy knits, leather jackets and collared shirt looks that are the true epitome of understated elegance. Moreover, the menswear line references the fashion world’s current athletic-wear obsession without being overly literal.
