ACNE STUDIOS RESORT 2016 COLLECTION

By Crash redaction

« I wanted to look at the intelligence of naivety and the toughness of free expression, especially DIY patchworking and geometry. » For his Resort 2016 collection, Jonny Johansson was inspired by the deconstruction of shapes and created very expressive pieces that translate the feeling of individuality and freedom. Each piece is a stand-out. The silhouettes are exaggerated to the extreme, still they always remain wearable, like this coat split at the hip level and held by knotted ties. Other looks fascinate by their color-blocking and patchwork quality: stripes appear on silk organza tops and dresses, while indigo, pink, beige, black and white tones merge to create a true feast for the eye. Pumps and heels with raw frayes edges turn up the volume even more, while the intertwined chokers add that cool 90s hint to the ensemble. Avant-garde and very inspired, Jonny Johansson sure knows how to deliver a great collection.
