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](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/anatomic-denim) 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. ## Trend Insights (Trend Hunter) - Score: 1.6/10 - Popularity: 8% | Activity: 32% | Freshness: 8% - Audience gender: 50% men, 50% women - Primary generations: Gen Z, Millennial, Gen X - Top markets: North America, South America, Europe, Asia, Africa ## Categories [Trend Hunter](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends) > [Fashion](https://www.trendhunter.com/fashion) ## Key Themes ### What Makes This Trend Stand Out - **Sculptor-inspired Fashion:** Opportunity for fashion brands to collaborate with artists and draw inspiration from sculptural works to create unique and innovative collections. - **Celebrating the Everyday:** Identification of an opportunity for brands to embrace the beauty in everyday life and integrate it into their products and brand values. - **Colorful Denim Trends:** Fashion brands can explore the use of vibrant colors and patterns in denim garments to offer consumers exciting and fresh options. ### Sectors Adopting This - **Fashion:** Fashion brands can leverage sculptural inspirations and collaborations with artists to create unique and artistic collections that captivate consumers. - **Art:** Opportunity for sculptors to collaborate with fashion brands and showcase their works in retail spaces, bridging the gap between fashion and art. - **Retail:** Retailers can capitalize on the sculpture-inspired fashion trend by curating unique and artistic collections, creating immersive shopping experiences for customers. ## Related on Trend Hunter - [texturally artistic fashion stores](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/acne-studios-flagship-stores.md) - [Elevated Grunge Streetwear](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/express-to-mars.md) - [Sculpted Denim Capsules](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/anatomic-denim.md) - [Year-of-the-Horse Fashion](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/year-of-the-horse-ss26.md) - [Luxe Cartoon-Adorned Apparel](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/moonmin.md) - [Beach-Inspired Spring Fashion Capsules](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/a-kind-of-guise-3.md) - [Collaboration Springtime Fragrances](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/acne-studios-par-frederic-malle.md) - [Wearable Art Streetwear](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/a-days-march-1.md) - [Architecture-Inspired Handbag Capsules](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/furla-debuts.md)
