Sitting front row at Acne Studios men’s SS20 show
Jonny Johansson, artistic director of Acne Studios, showed his Men’s Spring/Summer 2020 collection at Maison de la Radio in Paris. The show was somewhat delayed, as usual, because of traffic, but nothing to scare off the brand’s aficionados: Lewis Hamilton, singer Robyn, Eddy de Pretto and Russell Westbrook quickly found their seats in the front row just before the show began. “There is an art school next door to me, and I am always fascinated by the style of high school students, how they use clothes and their codes. I wanted to capture this energy and freedom.” Backstage, the artistic director explained his starting point for this collection, filled with beautiful shirts with multiple plastic pockets or zips, extra-large jackets with PVC details, and colorful sweaters.
