ACNE STUDIOS (Sweden) Maxi Dress

Inspired by the garden of his new Stockholm home, Acne Studios creative director Jonny Johansson showed a collection of functional, fluid pieces imbued with the label’s signature deconstructed cool. This simple yet edgy maxi dress is cut from flowy tencel, with a slouchy bodice detailed by pleating behind the neck.

Wear yours with flat sandals by day, switching to pin-thin heels for low-key evening events.

(RRP US$160)

(RRP US$695)



ACNE (Sweden) Printed Maxi Dress

This is easy chic at its best. From cult Swedish label ACNE (Ambition to Create Novel Expressions), we love the deceptively simple cut and clean, loose lines of this dress. Whilst the front remains quite plain, the back has surprising pleating details that give way to a lovely mini train.
Throw this maxi on with stacks of bracelets and platform sandals to work the brand’s signature nonchalance.
To style it in a more luxuriously laid-back way, garnish with a long statement necklace and pin heels.
(RRP £350 / US$460)

Founded in Stockholm in 1996, ACNE’s clothing is known for being seasonless. Pieces from the Spring/Summer are equally relevant and desirable in Fall/Winter, which is quite a rarity.
