Co-founded by Jonny Johansson, Mats Johansson, Tomas Skoging and Jesper Kouthoofd, Swedish fashion house Acne Studios were established in 1996 in Stockholm. It began as a creative collective that focused on graphic design, film, production and advertising. A year later, Jonny Johansson created a hundred pairs of raw denim jeans with red stitching and gave them away to his friends and family, and the jeans soon became known a signature style of the brand since it was featured in many fashion magazines such as Wallpaper and Vogue Paris. The popularity of the jeans had actuated Jonny Johansson to expand their fashion offering other than denim, and eventually the brand has successfully grown into a global fashion house, offering womenswear and menswear collection with a true sense of modernity.
For their 2015 Fall/Winter collection, Jonny Johansson says he wanted to “give men what makes them feel comfortable and secure.” Also, Jonny Johansson wanted to examine “what it means to feel masculine, and fit into what we understand as men’s style.” These inspirations resulted in the collection that is heavily influenced by football and emphasis on British tailoring, while staying true to its Scandinavian minimalism. Shown here are a few selected pieces from the collection, including a covert coat pinned with a detachable flannel skirt, a pair of derby shoes that is combined with a low hiking boots silhouette, as well as an understated yet simple, classic knitted pullover.
