Now and Later: ACNE

With the start of NY Fashion Week hours away, I'm finding it increasingly hard to concentrate. In lieu of sneaking an adderall from one of my fortunate prescription-holding friends, I've been staying sane by focusing on Stockholm Fashion Week.

Stealing the show, as usual, is Jonny Johannson's cult line Acne. The FW10 alien inspired collection mixes metal ankle braces, unitards and spray-painted foreheads with down-to-earth details like zippers, fringed scarves and shearling boots. I'm quickly becoming obsessed with the tough leather details and body con mini dresses. But let's not get ahead of ourselves. We can't forget that there are the milder spring months to enjoy first and just as lighthearted, the current Acne collection that will be arriving in a few weeks.

Exuding much more of a bohemian and earthy feel, Acne SS10 features dusty hues of pink, beige and mauve. Breezy tanks and flowing dresses create a mystical mood that exists throughout the collection. My favorites include the tie-dyed pieces and the soft spring knits. Perfect organic-feeling pieces to wear on Earth before Acne transports us to another world.
