At a London presentation this week of looks from the FW09 collection of Acne — the Swedish label synonymous with drainpipe denim — a brand-new collaboration was likewise on display. The multi-faceted creative brand has in the past teamed up with the likes of Lanvin and Bianchi, but the new partnering in question is that of a jewelry collaboration with seasoned German designer Michael Zobel, founder and creative force behind Atelier Zobel (as well as the father of one of the designers behind Acne).
The sculptural collection includes oversized rings and cuffs that are both colorful and ornate. Keeping in line with the likes of Alexander Wang’s new jewelry line, the collaboration is ripe with all the makings of becoming the new ‘It’ accessory. Besides, the pieces are a hell of a lot easier to pull off than the sky-high, horse hoof-esque wedges Acne also showcased for FW09.
