It would be silly to state that the latest Acne collection is understated- the Autumn/Winter designs are extravagant, bold and layer specific...
Layering, layering, layering. One of the fashion industries favourite tricks which can be undergone disastrously, however, Acne manage to team odd and unthinkable designs together to create this kind of 'mix and match' attitude. Although the collection includes odd colour combinations (orange and blues), it also introduces warm tones that perfectly mesh together. One example of such colour coordination is the use of clay trousers displayed above, teamed with what can only be described as a beige waist coat/sleeveless blazer and a decorative collar.
Acne do not stick to a minimalistic colour palette, they diversify the colour, ranging from soft and warm clay, beige and orange tones to baby blue- sky blue- navy and even showcasing golds and the use of metallic materials and shades.
Personally, I adore the clothing within the first two images displayed. The gothic, dark use of layering and using leather seems to work to continue the gothic trend that the British seem to love, but also helps to avoid distraction from the cut of the fabric. It is often hard to focus upon the design of the other garments because of the bold palette and use of pattern.
The female option is very simplistic- black loose flowing cropped trousers/what seems to be a jumpsuit, teamed with a structured, shoulder accentuating leather (blue) jacket and a simplistic clutch. It was previously unheard of to wear blue and black together but it seems within the current A/W designer collections, that this combination of colouring is constantly emerging.
