For Acne Studios’ Fall/Winter 2022 collection, the brand presents a poetic evolution of nomadic dressing. With the new collection, founder and creative director Jonny Johansson cultivates his interest in the language of clothing to showcase his interpretation of nomadic style.
Comprised of an array of Earth colors like stone gray, red clay, seafoam blue, moss green, barnacle brown and more, the collection is brought to life through a blend of patchwork brocade and tailored styles. By incorporating a fusion of dress notes, Johansson captures both the character and feelings of a constantly expanding approach to clothing.
“I wanted it to be a very poetic collection, with mixed-and-matched pieces that feel lived in for years. Being in isolation has made me realize how much we are used to traveling,” said Johansson. “This led me to think about nomadic communities, like those in the north of Sweden near where I grew up. This collection is about how a language of clothing evolves within communities, mixing and contrasting pieces together.”
Menswear garments exhibit a playfulness of both creativity and refinement. Outerwear pieces like overcoats and trench coats in deep blue shades showcase a tailored aesthetic, while knitwear garments are composed using an array of patchwork fabrics. Additionally, collection pieces play with volume and proportion exhibited by pants with billowing mid-leg constructions and relaxed fits. A collection highlight is a relaxed hooded suit in slate gray with a structured blazer, voluminous pants and gray crushed velvet boots. Complementing the collection looks are leather chap boots in cognac and black, plush knit scarves, silver necklaces and small bags.
