ACNE STUDIOS PRESENT SS16 MENSWEAR COLLECTION

Creative Director Jonny Johansson presented a clear and clarified collection, using lightweight tailoring wools, treated cotton and linen, woven jersey, crepe and silk poplin. Colours go from city greys and browns to vivid primary red, blue and green.

A green double-face cotton trench has a dirty downtown attitude, as do coated linen coats, zip up leather jackets, and a naplak leather jacket with knitted linen rib at the cuff.

Abstract graphic surfboard art by Robin Kegel are printed on loose fit jumpsuits in poplin silk. They also appear on cashmere sweaters that have been purposefully pilled. A billowing navy shirt is worn with matching shorts, while blouses are draped at the front, folding and held by a small press stud at the neck.

Tailored pants are loose fitting, their superfine wool almost transparent. They also come in vivid blue and red, worn with contrasting long ribbed cashmere knits. Blazers have utilitarian patch pockets, as does a long linen workers coat, while a short sleeve jacket and wide pants in apricot in Punto Milano fabric have a functional feel. Zip-ups come in tailoring wool or velvet, while little velvet tanks have been laser cut as if perforated.

Platform boots come in leather or suede with a cork sole. Bags are like hybrids of sacks mixed with satchels, or a sack combined with a rucksack. Belts are like oversized shoelaces made in leather.
