Acne Studios' Tee Drop for Spring/Summer 2018 is Colorful
References: go.hsnob.co & highsnobiety
Swedish-based streetwear label Acne Studio dived into its archives for a very small provocative t-shirt collection for its Spring/Summer 2018 season. The brand revived an "iconic image" from the Fall/Winter 2014 campaign and boasts it in four tonal tee combinations, including black, teal, pink and white. The graphic depicts an assertive flipping off gesture and Acne Studio plays around with color and placement, screen printing the image in five different kaleidoscopic iterations. The end result is wildly creative and each design is largely distinct from one another.
The provocative t-shirts evoke a retro vibe that successfully translates to contemporary streetwear ensembles. Acne Studio's Spring/Summer 2018 tee collection will definitely accent any casual outfit with an obscene approach to graphic design.
