Acne Studios firade sitt 30-årsjubileum med en höst 2026 ready-to-wear-kollektion inspirerad av personliga minnen och varumärkets historia under Paris modevecka. Grundaren Jonny Johansson reflekterade över märkets debutvisning på en historisk plats. Presentationen blandade vuxen elegans med okonventionella detaljer.
Acne Studios presenterade sin höst 2026 ready-to-wear-kollektion under Paris modevecka den 4 mars 2026, vilket sammanföll med varumärkets 30-årsjubileum. Grundaren Jonny Johansson hämtade inspiration från märkets förflutna och återupplivade den sammankopplade kammarsättningen från dess debut på London Fashion Week i prinsessan Margarets lägenheter på Kensington Palace. Den platsen hade säkrats genom Lord Snowdon, som fotograferade för Acne vid den tiden. Johansson reflekterade: ”How many years ago was that?” medan han skakade på huvudet i förundran och undran över tiden som gått. The collection balanced wearable maturity with Acne's irreverent spirit. Royal pleated tweed skirts in domestic checks were inspired by Lisbeth, the late mother of Johansson’s best friend Nils, who wore them during piano lessons. These were paired unconventionally with neck-slung blazers, python blousons over double-layered shirts, and boots with curlingly pointed toes. Ladylike dresses in lemon or silver appeared pressed and distorted, as if from a packed archive; the lemon version revealed a cheetah print base-layer underneath. Pointed pumps featured five wonkily placed leather and grosgrain ribbons. Outerwear varied in scale: a shearling aviator jacket was worn super-small, while a black leather cropped trench and two double-breasted silk coats were oversized. Face-printed pieces incorporated images from Paul Kooiker’s portraits of art school students, exhibited at Acne Paper Palais Royal the previous year. The show included a parody of bourgeois luxury with fake fur elements like earrings, cuffs, collars, and fringed boots. The Camero bag appeared in handsome, time-cracked finishes. Beth Gibbons' song played over the system: “Never found our way regardless of what they say: how can it feel this wrong?” DJ Peggy Gou attended the Acne Studios show alongside the Saint Laurent presentation, expressing inspiration from fashion and creativity during Paris Fashion Week.
