The Fall/Winter 2024 collection from Acne Studios presents a sculpted and futuristic vision of contemporary femininity. By reinterpreting the brand's foundational elements of denim and leather, this collection offers a raw, mechanical edge that juxtaposes traditional womenswear archetypes. Classic items such as fur (both faux and shearling), ladylike handbags, and the timeless black dress are reimagined with a tough attitude, resulting in an elevated femininity that challenges conventional norms.

Jonny Johansson, the creative director of Acne Studios, remarks, "I’ve always been drawn to leather and denim. It’s the spirit of Acne Studios. One of our first collections in the late 90s was called ‘leather and denim’; two things that belong together. This Acne Studios Fall Winter 2024 women’s collection, we’ve created a powerful leather and denim woman. I’ve always related to clothing through subcultural movements. Denim and leather can transcend genre and subcultures – from punk to S&M. When you want to feel tough you gravitate towards leather and denim; it’s like armour. It always feels right. An empowering safety zone."

Innovative design elements include 'lampshade' dresses stretched with mesh and boning, challenging conventional boundaries by bringing the underlay of couture dresses to the forefront. Ribbed Henley jerseys, reminiscent of traditional undergarments, are elevated to outerwear, showcasing Acne Studios' commitment to reinterpreting and elevating classic pieces.
