Looks like Acne designer Jonny Johansson, has gone a bit soft this season, switching up the usual tough as nails downtown girl aesthetic normally associated with Acne for a girl a little bit more reserved even perhaps sensitive. Johansson used Emmylou Harris’ cover of Neil Young’s “Wrecking Ball” as inspiration, taking a trip to the country, perhaps Nashville?? T-shirts with MUSIC and COLLAGE printed on them reflected a more laid back, creative vibe, paired with big flowing pants and skirts. There were looks that brought her back to the streets, leather vests, buckled and boxy and even a couple of romantic moments; it was a different kind of collection for Acne, I applaud Johansson stepping out of his box and into a more dreamy, rustic place. And all in all, the thread that keeps Acne one of our favorite brands, tough sensibility and wearability, was definitely there, he stepped out, but not too far.
