London Fashion Week Acne Collection (2011). Acne Laid-back luxe was on Jonny Johansson's mind this season. Acne's creative director whipped up a casual collection apropos his design team with the signature androgynous spin. Leather got reworked into streetwise rose vests, olive and blueberry cropped pants and buckled cognac minis while denim was reimagined in jumpers and slouchy jackets. Among the winners: a pair of delicious wide-leg mustard velvet trousers stole the show as did the patchwork leather and metallic high-waters coupled with a low-key charcoal sweatshirt. 

London Fashion Week Acne Collection (2011). The collection over all is very youthful with slightly cropped pants and low-buttoning jackets in different styles all in Italian bonded wool. The pallet sees accents of raspberry, royal blue, or teal. Johansson stated that the clothing was made for “that moment when you’re not grown up and at the same time, not a kid. The kind of sexual energy that brings.”
