Acne Studios Creates The Perfect Dual-Purpose Wardrobe For Resort 2015

Close your eyes and visualize a ​dress cozy enough to wear to the corner store and yet refined enough for a dinner party. Our dual-purpose ​outfit dreams come to fruition in Acne Studios' super-comfy Resort 2015 collection. Everyday styles cut in exaggerated fits are the focal point this season, and the brand’s signature easy-to-wear ​quality blesses each individual piece.

The collection was ​inspired by conceptual photographs by Canadian artist Jeff Wall—known for his large back-lit phototransparencies and being the photographer behind the covers for Sonic Youth’s The Destroyed Room and Iggy Pop’s Avenue B album covers—with the collective themes of existentialism, monotony, and realism being key. This is represented through a delightfully uncomplicated color palette—black, navy, clay, and stark white—as well as signature Acne basics, ​which are spliced with topsy-turvy pieces like the visceral, “curry orange” Vista Portrait T-Shirt.

Fabrics are manipulated​​ (perhaps to reflect the theme of life ‘wearing you down’) in the​ ​Mock Scratch Leather Jacke​t ​in a beaten leather​, ​and ​ in the Arc Stretch Blouse in crushed organza. Masculine basics, like slouchy trousers, are reworked into tailored​​ silhouettes​—take the business-gal vibes of the Saville CR Mohair Trousers and ​Addle Fluid Shirt, for example. Acne Studios creative director Jonny Johansson's vision could even be perceived as normcore, although we prefer the term low-maintenance to describe this effortless-yet-polished collection.
