Paris and Milan have received the lion's share of our attention lately, but we wouldn't want to ignore Sweden's runways, which presented, among others, Acne's S/S '09 line last week. Not surprisingly, denim dominated, but the collection was full of considered touches. Pants were wider than usual for Acne, which normally prefers its painted-on, and came in grown-up-looking trouser cuts. Ties abounded, but in Mad Men-ish shortened proportions. (Be careful with these: A false move here and you'll wind up looking like a Minor League Baseball scout from Tampa.) A chambray shirt was brightened up with a contrast collar (pictured), and sweaters were draped with motorcycle jacket-inspired plackets, a nod from creative director Jonny Johansson to the bad-boy teen culture of the fifties. The fifties may have been in mind, but these looks were all aughts, and after the wild fantasias parading through Europe's more southerly fashion capitals, it felt like a breath of fresh air to see looks that could walk from the runway unadulterated onto the street.
