Acne Studios Block Stripe Knitwear Brick Red Grey

For this Acne Studios Spring/Summer 2020 collection we can expect to see, earthy natural tones, oversized layered silhouettes and faux pockets. Their looks appeared timeworn, homespun, and earthy yet somehow also luxurious: linen pants and coats foiled in gold, suede coats or dresses dotted with raindrop crystals. Layers were their leitmotif; large vests and shabby sweaters were shown over worn-in shirts; dresses and tunic knits shifted open over body-skimming underpinnings. Tactile embellishments sprouted up everywhere: random embroidery strands, charms along back belts, sandal straps loaded with Western buckles. One jacket stood out for its allover cracked effect; in fact, it was a fil coupe overprinted as a trompe l’oeil. Other trippy treatments included shirt pockets that became shadowy outlines, and bucket hats that had been sliced open and laced back together. For all this density of detail—simultaneously intricate and unhinged—these were still the same Acne girls who prefer extra-long sleeves and jeans, who give off that sense of alt-intellectual superiority.
