# Artist-Inspired Archetypal Clothing Acne Studios' SS 2020 is Concerned with the Art Student Style By Kalin Ned | Published 2019-06-21 | Fashion Source: Trend Hunter, https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/art-student-style References: [highsnobiety](https://www.highsnobiety.com/p/acne-studios-ss20/#slide-2) & [instagram](https://www.instagram.com/acnestudios/?utm_source=ig_embed) The archetypal art student style is centric to [Acne Studios](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/acne-studios-flagship-stores)' offerings for the upcoming Spring/Summer 2020 collection. The contemporary Sweedish brand brings creative fashion to the forefront by introducing [silhouettes that are expertly tailored](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/apresse-2026) and boast some incredibly unique motifs. A central aspect of the garments is juxtapositioning. That is, Acne Studios arranges the entirety of the collection to contrast — "shiny and matte, knitwear and acetate, the art student and the working professional." It is through this method that Acne Studios is able to push the art student style into a new stage, one in which the aesthetic is adopted on a larger scale and the rejection of gender fashion stereotypes extended.
