ACNE STUDIOS SS25

Female superheroes are undoubtedly more interesting than their male counterparts. From their gravity-defying costumes to their unshakeable coiffed hair, women in comic books have to do everything men do but with high heels on. Captivated by their allure, Jonny Johansson presents a menswear collection riddled with even more stylized versions of DC superheroes. From embroideries on interestingly shaped bags to colourful prints, the likes of Superwoman are integrated beautifully into a classic Acne Studios collection.

For Spring/Summer 2025, Johansson upholds his manicured brand of grunge. Trompe l’oeil jeans replicate battered and bruised trousers, while thick leather belts constrain denim miniskirts. The designer has fun with some of his most adored pieces—the post-coquette bow bag gets a cargo makeover. Presented through a lookbook shot by Jordan Hemingway and modelled by choreographer Jordan Robson, the offering has a characteristic edge. Even the collection’s closing looks make the formal delinquent.
