Menswear Highlight #5; Acne

The final highlight of Paris' spectacular Menswear Fashion Week has to be, in my opinion, Acne for their fantastic collection which demonstrates that men can wear leather too - and not just on jackets. Although a lesser-known label (this is only the fourth Acne menswear collection ever), Acne have proven with this stellar collection that womenswear trends can convert perfectly into menswear without compromising any detail in design.

Given that the label originally specialised in denim only it comes as little surprise that the collection opened with a series of double-denim looks; baggy denim skate shorts were combined with collarless denim jackets in the same indigo wash. Although double-denim in the same shade shouldn't work, the details prevented the separates looking ridiculous when combined; a long t-shirt in a lighter navy broke up the look nicely, whereas the frayed neckline of the classic denim jacket gave it a much-needed edge.

Proof that double-denim can work; Acne S/S '13
