Contemporary streetwear purveyor Acne Studios enters in collaboration with Black Label — "the premium arm of Starter sportswear," for a chic and retro denim fashion collection.
From washed-out denim jackets to casual 90s-style jeans, the silhouettes in the collection have been derived from Acne Studios' historical archives. The garments are co-branded either subtly or boldly — some of the offerings feature a stylishly overbearing abundance of patches. This adds a unique and cheerful aspect to the aesthetic of the retro denim fashion collection.
In addition, when designing the Acne Studios x Starter Black Label capsule, the collaborators looked toward influences from the world of basketball. This translates to salmon-accented varsity jackets, breezy basketball shorts, and a few hats. As a result, the retro denim fashion collection reflects both the timeless streetwear-forward aspect from Acne Studios and the sporty aesthetics of Starter.
