New Arrivals: Acne - Pre Fall 2011
Nothing excites us more at Seasons than the prospect of the new. The second we heard that the Acne pre-fall collection was making its way to our stores none of us could wait, especially with Acne being one of our favourite brands!
The pre-fall collection has arrived and as per usual Jonny Johansson has blown our minds, providing us with the finest in delicate and feminine dresses, soft knits, brilliant basics and tough biker and aviator shearling jackets. A cohesive collection that has an item for pretty much any occassion. This is what we love about Acne, it is so wearable as a brand, everything can be dressed up or down.
Dresses are crafted with the female form in mind, the Daria dress is corseted and padded inside to create structure whilst the waist is nipped in to create an hour-glass shape. The Darling dresses feature soft draping detail that skims the body and then accentuates the hip just at the right place. The fluid-like nature of the fabrics mean the dresses hug the body in just the right places and they are almost never unflattering.
For a more svelte silhouette there is the Extreme wool maxi, Nico maxi-skirt and the Magical Ziggy maxi. A maxi silhouette is a key part of this collection and all of these items skim the curves and elongate the body without hesitation.
There are of course the brilliant and essential basics that Acne provide us with every season such as the Copy t-shirt and the beautiful Ruth & Ry knits in the softest Angora, both of which are absolutely perfect for layering during the upcoming Winter months to keep us all warm yet stylish at the same time.
For the extreme mid-winter chill there are the most beautiful shearling jackets we've seen. The Rita and Velocite.
The Rita is a classic biker jacket completely lined in shearling with amazing zip detail whilst the Velocite is a classic aviator style, with the volume turned up. The Velocite is oversized in its fit which makes it perfect for layering as many cosy things as your heart desires underneath it. It also has a chunky belt and buckle on the collar. These jackets are a complete and utter Winter essential as they combine the difficult task of staying warm and looking stylish into one easy piece. We don't think there is anything you could possibly want more than one of these jackets, especially if last Winter is anything to go by!
