The Swedish label (ACNE)
known for its carefully constructed left-of-center cool, released its pre-fall 2015 collection during the second week of
January in a series of delightfully styled images, featuring
models under layers and layers
of clothing.
“I wanted to portray an
idea of feminism in this
collection and looked
towards the independent spirit of the 1930s
sportswomen, and the
realness of the traditional
fabrics they wore,” explained
Creative Director Jonny Johansson in the press notes.
These traditional fabrics include hound’s-tooth, tweed,
wool, boiled wool, silk, shearling and denim in masculine, boxy silhouettes.
As we’ve come to expect from ACNE, this collection
is incongruous in a refreshing way, especially as styled in the look book.
A jumbo lavender knit completely bundles the body (and somehow has
more than two arms) and a dense wool sweater melds with a delicate lace
dress. Oatmeal knit gloves is almost creepy in how closely they resemble
the models’ skin.
But my favorite part is the shoes, especially the chunky sneakers that
look like moon boots mixed with low-top hiking boots. They’re as awkward alongside the classic fabrics as they are perfect as a finishing point
for the latest installment of ACNE’s ugly-chic aesthetic.
