Acne Studios Spring 2027 sent the Renaissance straight into the denim aisle. For his latest Paris Fashion Week outing, Jonny Johansson pulled from centuries of fashion history, mixing floral ball skirts, leather jackets and jeans in a collection titled “Denim Hystoria.” The opening look paired the brand’s signature leather jacket and denim with a billowing taffeta gown, setting the tone for an unlikely wardrobe mashup. With Adam Ant’s “Prince Charming” on the soundtrack, duster coats, leather breeches and pirate boots followed, bringing a little ’80s New Romantic attitude to all that historical drama.
Florals were everywhere, but Johansson wasn’t interested in keeping them pretty and predictable. Faded damask ball skirts appeared over white pedal pushers and beige twinsets, while another voluminous skirt accompanied a glazed white tank and jeans. Trompe-l’œil denim played against floral and striped furnishing prints, making the contrast between old-world dressing and everyday clothes even more apparent. It’s a particularly extravagant turn for Acne Studios, where familiar denim pieces suddenly found themselves sharing an outfit with fabrics better suited to a royal wardrobe.
The historical references extended into the accessories, with portrait brooches, ribboned satin shoes and buckled boots adding to the period-inspired styling. Johansson also looked to Stockholm’s Vasa Museum and its 17th-century ship, bringing another chapter of Swedish history into the conversation. Crushed floral leather, printed denim and dramatic skirts kept the materials just as interesting as the silhouettes. The collection also arrives during Acne Studios’ 30th anniversary year, with the Spring 2027 pieces scheduled to launch online and in stores in February 2027.
