AN ECLECTIC MIX of patterns, pastels, silks and suits makes for an Acne Studios SS18 that is thrift- shop chic, a mix-and-match jumble of modes. Sampling the ‘70s through pinstripes, snakeskin flairs and high-shine coats that emphasis the shoulders, each of these statement shapes and silhouettes highlight a fashionable throwback to the era.
Layering clashing colours and accessories upon each other becomes cool and each look is as daring as the next. Feathers, sequins and bejeweled collars decorated the garments adding extra panache to the pieces, suggesting the Swedish brand’s direction towards enhancing pieces with ornamental details.
