The Fall/Winter ‘25 womenswear collection of Acne Studios blended sensuality with Nordic clean lines and functional design. The setting of the show was inspired by Swedish landscapes and given a futuristic turn. Woven sculptures by design duo Front were present on the stage, creating a juxtaposition between the modernity of the landscape and craftsmanship. The show was an amalgam of styles and structures that created a rich visual story, something the brand is known for. From bodysuits to oversized coats, loose dresses, and structured vests, the collection showcased not only the creativity of the label but also its diverse and unique world.
Acne Studios knows how to bring unexpected twists to its clothing through accessories. Flowy silk dresses that embodied elegance moved gracefully on the runway and were combined with big, chunky shoes, breaking the feminine allure and transforming it into edginess. Bold, knitted bodysuits created a cozy charm. Booty shorts, see-through fabrics, asymmetric cutouts in bodycon dresses, and plunging necklines brought an element of sexiness and femininity, which was disrupted by exaggerated and voluminous silhouettes.
Some looks featured XXL knitted bows, while others displayed delicate pussy-bow shirts, creating a contradictory yet complementary aesthetic. Fur coats were big and dramatic, and oversized vests emphasized the shoulders, featuring a powerful look. Fuzzy and textured garments added a playful, infantile touch while maintaining an effortless style, and the leatherwork in dresses and coats reflected the brand’s technical precision.
Corporate-core was an essential part of the show. Sharp tailoring and sleek briefcases showcased the brand’s ability to create classic looks with a modern twist. Their signature denim appeared in dresses, jackets, and jeans, adding a laid-back touch to the collection. The colour palette featured earthy hues with lively tones, as well as blacks and greys, making for a visually exciting show.
