Acne Fall/Winter 2011 Collection

This collection really brings out the latest trends for the fall/winter  2011 collection. I instantly fell in love with this collection! Leather is commonly used in this collection but I love how it's in different styles and colors as well. Not just the black leather motorcycle style jacket in the collection but Acne has gone beyond and above and taken this simple statement jacket and transformed it into vests, pants, boots, skirts and even overalls. It's not the normal style of leather type clothing that was found back when our parents used to wear leather when they we were younger but they completely took it a step further and explored with different colors that will be common. I especially love the different materials used such as the metallic silver and gold shiny type material because it makes such a statement yet it can still be edgy and these particular pieces can be paired with almost anything black. The textures of this collection and the quality is probably what stood out to me the most. Such as the mustard colored sherling jacket and the mustard velvet 70's style flared trousers, the sheer shirts and the vinyl type blazers. It's nice to see some of the trends from last season incorporated as well to this collection such as the military trend, velvet, wide leg trousers, leather, the maxi style skirts, camel colors, the platform style sandals and of course the oxford shoe. The blazers are unbelievably tailored and I love how they are there are 2 pairs of pockets, one is the sewn on pockets with flaps attached and ones are the actual pockets on the side of the body so that you can stick your hands through. I cannot get enough of this collection!
