In the ever-evolving world of fashion, Acne Studios stands out as a brand that effortlessly navigates through diverse styles and aesthetics. One day, they may enchant with gentle, cute Bohemian-inspired creations, and the next, they can captivate with an undeniable sense of sensuality, drawing inspiration from grunge or crafting exquisite evening wear. On occasion, Acne Studios even expertly weaves a tapestry of sophistication by seamlessly merging classical and contemporary elements. For their Fall/Winter 2024 men’s collection, the focal point was rebellion, sensuality, and an undeniably cool edge, all inspired by the rich and iconic denim culture.

Under the visionary guidance of Jonny Johansson, the brand harmoniously combined elements from the past, present, and future to breathe fresh life into their signature styles, aptly named the “modern-day cyclist.” The collection artfully merged oversized silhouettes with body-hugging fits, showcasing both high-waisted and low-waisted trousers. Beyond playing with proportions, the clothing rack displayed a curated blend of mixed fabrics, featuring a fusion of rigid and soft materials such as leather, denim, faux fur, cotton, and voile.

To preserve the essence of the modern-day cyclist, drawing influences from the early 2000s and futuristic vibes, the collection included a range of items, from cropped jackets and structured coats to ultra-small tank tops and baggy denim. Each piece was elevated with various washes, spray-painted graphics, and intricate painted details.

To give this collection an electric pulse, the brand enlisted the creative genius of American musician Yves Tumor, resulting in a fusion of rebellion and effortless coolness. “Yves was the perfect fit for this collection; they are deeply committed to their art. They also embody the spirit of the space-age era, the psychedelic style, and, simultaneously, exude an irresistibly cool aura,” Johansson explained. “The way they effortlessly mix and match styles aligns seamlessly with the spirit of this collection. Yves possesses a multifaceted personality, which, in my eyes, epitomizes a true rebel: someone you aspire to be, someone who doesn’t conform but always makes the perfect choices.”
