As a brand that focuses on adding its own experimental spin to archetypes, Acne Studios’ Spring/Summer 2020 collection stayed true to its roots. Looks were pieced together flippantly—a scarf tossed around the neck; a sweater hung with trails of interwoven fabric; a shoe with apparently-ragged soles—evocative of a project created by an irreverent art student. The eye is drawn across the body by things that appear the same, but different—like a leather belt with a plastic-cast buckle, a pair of leather loafers with a peep-toe and rugged rubber soles, or a tank top embellished with a woven bib front. Highlights included the red jacquard shorts with woven details, worn with an aquamarine shirt and jacket; the oversized khaki shirt worn with a neck scarf and black pant; and the burgundy sweater with the mesh sections and ribbon details, paired with unconventionally-tailored dress pants.
