Guests at the Acne show were greeted by delicious (and strong) red campari cocktails, which provided some refreshment as the fashion industry filed in. As the show began, it was immediately clear that a strong motif was the belt - wide, waisted with a large square of metal, it seemed to be almost a modern take on the obi belt. The colours of the collection were strong; yet another show that mostly eschewed black for richer colours such as sumptuous oxblood leather, reds, deep greens, and the odd flash of brights like yellow and neon green. The silhouette was a constant - the pencil skirt is absolutely key, and the shapes rarely veered away from this, apart from in the trousers, which the label always seems to do well. Afterwards, we were treated to a surprise party, when, after the models filed backstage, waiters appeared from the shadows offering more cocktails and mini-burgers. A perfect way to round off the day, and for some, the highlight of the week.
