The Shapely Season–Acne travels a simple path for the spring 2012 season, looking to the bicyclist to guide the way. A standout label for attention to shapes this season, the cohesive lineup finds its stride with boxy outerwear, complemented by fitted pieces such as the knit and dress shirt. Outfitted in colors that emphasize a retro attitude, elements, old and new continue to be showcased throughout a collection that takes proportion to task with a wavering stance. Ultimately coming out on top with a subtle camouflage accent among strong monochromatic numbers, Acne continues to be a crowd pleaser.

Acne has always been a favorite of mine, both the men’s and women’s collections for several seasons now. The silhouettes are not what draws me to them but rather their amazing color palette. I guess Jil Sander is also another example of simple silhouette and amazing color.
