London Fashion Week: Acne Ready-to-Wear Fall 2009

Jonny Johansson, of Swedish fashion smash Acne, showed his Fall 2009 Ready-to-Wear collection in London last week, his first-ever show outside Stockholm.  Acne stands for “Ambition to Create Novel Expressions,” and the line features denim and separates, but these are definitely not your typical jeans and t-shirts. Inspired, as so many artists have been, while sitting in a Parisian café, Johansson built a collection that included meticulously tailored jackets, as seen in the picture here, plus chunky diamond pins in odd shapes, black plastic jeans, and high-waisted pantsuits.

Acne is favored by the cool and connected for its independent vibe, its way of doing its own thing, its expression of the vision of an intelligent and talented designer who happens to come from reindeer country. Johanssen’s trends for Fall 2009 are evident in this combination of embellished jacket, subdued trousers, and hands bedecked with big, chunky rings.

    What is the thing with Sweden at the moment, I’ve seen wee posts here and there about how ‘trendy’ and ‘fashionable’ the Swedes are…but I will say that is a cool outfit
