Acne creative director Jonny Johansson has been on such a roll in popping out relevant trends that the Swedish based brand has quickly become the go-to label for girls looking for a quick fashion fix. For spring, his never-fail tailoring got stiffened into hardened silk and then sliced into new shapes including strapless bell shaped dresses, cropped mini men's shorts and sleeveless jackets. A lot of women go to Acne for their reinvented basics but Johansson nonetheless proposes a lot of hard-core fashion on his runways. This season he promised to dress a girl for all moments of her life - from the bathtub to the office, but you couldn't help but notice that most of it was tinged with fresh sex appeal. Deep V-front jackets and dresses made everything sexier (as did the figure-hugging, phallic-printed slinky silk dresses and low long pencil skirts worn with glossy gold jewellery), while leather racked up an impressive showing despite the summer season. There were also skintight khaki leather cargo biker shorts, as well as a peacock green leather short-sleeved leisure suit. Get ready for a hot summer, girls.
