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 Jacket 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.
