Jonny Johansson celebrates individuality in his ACNE STUDIOS Women’s Spring-Summer 2018 collection.

Backstage, he explains his approach to Fashion Network : “I wanted to play with a vision that is removed from fashion because I think it suits Acne Studios.

The most key colors on the pieces with sleeves.
