Acne Studios’ Fall 2015 menswear clothing line is set to feature multiple items adorned with feminist quotes. Designer Jonny Johansson created the line to embody the traditionally male-oriented sport of football combined with a gender-equality stance on feminism.
The line of sweatshirts, sweaters and scarves feature feminist quotes such as "Gender Equality," "Woman Power" and "Please Call Me Girl." While the clothing line is made for men, it supports women and it provides a fresh perspective on gender equality through a youth-oriented clothing label.
Although the garments are a bit on the expensive side, the high-end fabrics, immaculate assembly and heartwarming cause make them worth the splurge. Plus, each piece of clothing is an essential part of a fashionable fall wardrobe.
