In a waft of boiler suits and dungarees, Jonny Johansson reminded LFW that being an effortless cool character was still second nature to him. This Swedish sensation crafted his collection with such simplicity that came as a refreshing alternative to the more unconventional designers of the week. Minimalism was expressed through tame shades of indigo and olive and the odd lashing of mustard and black gave the collection an equally subtle element of drama keeping the clothing interesting and eye catching.
Patch-pockets and flirty skirts were a friendly hint that despite their leather jackets making them one pair of aviators short of ultimate coolness, Acne are still respectably not too cool for school! Cropped trousers and tees were also made of touchable leather in cool metallic and cobalt blues and the wedged brogues that enabled models to breeze the catwalk with unreserved swagger will be on every die-hard fashionista’s Christmas list.
However, no review of this show would be complete without congratulating Acne on their amazingly suave collection of coats. From a gorgeously simple, burgundy coat that stretched almost below the models feet, to THE black coat of the season that graced the runway as Johansson’s final masterpiece. It was long, lustrous and belted in the middle in that ever so simple Acne way… The show was a cool, calm and collected displayed of what Sweden has to offer the world of fashion and was an original reminder to LFW A/W”11 that sometimes, less is definitely more.
