It would have been nice to see some of them appear center stage. Stripped back, some of the underlayers (notably a tie-dye, silken dress, or a button-down micro-floral ’90s number) were charming. Thick knitted socks stuffed into stilettos are already a street style staple, and the new shoes he’d designed, with straps made to accommodate heavy layers, will facilitate its endurance the artfully askew cuts of chunky cardigans or draped dresses offer inbuilt insouciance. But his brand regularly leans into a curated, vintage sensibility, and within the context of his audience’s desires, it maybe makes more sense. “It’s been quite an easy place to focus, a comforting world to be in.” It’s not been the experience of many over the past 12 months, but it was that envy-inducing sentiment that he chose to translate into his latest Acne Studios collection, which revolves around something likely more relatable to most: duvet dressing.ĭistressed dressing gowns and fuzzy fabric pajamas, floral nightgowns and distended knits appropriated the cutesy fabrics that furnish his home, making for a collection which, in many ways, you wish debuted this time last year rather than (hopefully) in time for our collective emergence (although “it’s not ending yet,” he cheerily pointed out).
Spending it at his Swedish country house, he has found it a sort of pastoral escape from reality: “a dreamscape, fantasy situation,” he said. Jonny Johansson has rather enjoyed lockdown.
