Acne Spring/Summer 2011 Collection looks like how apple pie smells
Acne is a staple company and they are dreamy in so many ways. In Sweden they are seen as an “H &M-like” corporation and more so from fashion globally as a high quality prêt-a-porter house. When it comes to catching your eye, they can either be positively overwhelming or as basic as apple pie. Last season we saw 17 looks with everything the belly craves from fur booties to leather jackets and mini dresses. This season there is a hippie breakdown as compared to their past collaborations with the likes of mega-designers like Alber Elbaz for Lanvin. Less is clearly more this season and it’s a clean full. This spring the hippie geisha will be rocking chiffon, organza, and knits in white, navy, camel, and red. All slightly over-sized and meant to literally hang out [on ones body]. Oversized boyfriend sweaters from knee length to empire waist layered over tube dresses and leggings or mini skirts with see through tops rocked their runway. These trends demand that Acne buyers this season know that they’re the fox trot even when they may be pulling off pieces that are made well to make you feel good aka basics. The studded black leather jacket with the chiffon 80’s trousers at the end of the show left a good taste in the fashion show viewer mouths of London. Acne will grace the world with its fashions for many lifetimes to follow because they always do what makes sense but in the hand make hearts melt. The most amazing quality in their forward cuts with a touch of simple and ultimate style is always on time; this season such form was held fast with the snakeskin chiffon three-piece day suit and the sexy box mini-dresses. At the end of the show, desire for many pieces held strong as always for Acne. The translation from runway to store is always a treat. Many women wait around for Acne shoes to cross over and this season it will be a tedious winter waiting to see how those geisha platforms are going to sell and wear.
