Hang Ten: Acne Studios Fall/Winter 2014

In the past, coastal surfer-girl fashion has traditionally translated into neoprene bodysuits and barely-there bikinis à la Blue Crush. Never one to stick to the norm, Acne founder Jonny Johansson took the surfer girl out of the frigid waters and onto the runway for his Fall/Winter collection.

Inspired by the Swedish beachside during the autumn-to-winter transitional season, Johansson let the waves sweep him away to find the perfect balance between the structured separates and draped silhouettes of Acne seasons past. With the latest offerings, the motion of waves is depicted with a variation of psychedelic swirls present on dresses, sweatshirts, and skirts, while the distinct colorway of the collection calls to mind a beachside view at sundown. The windswept collection leaves the wearer prepared to walk through the washed-up beach debris, and the Felted Motorcycle Jacket depicts the effect of having freshly rolled in the sand. Winter by the water never felt—or looked—this good.
