Fourth up in the Tribute season, super excited to have Acne Studios join the brands - the first time for Acne in the Plaza in a dedicated store. It's been a while since I've thought of this brand, would have loved it years ago for Tributes and now it's here - let's get on into the release, the advertising shows quite a mix of colours and styles:
The release is fitting with the rest of the season, we have 3 full floors over a total of 17 looks with several pieces available for both male and female dolls. While I haven't kept up with runway collections over the past few years, having just had a look at some of the recent Acne collections, I'm really loving their vibes and I can see versatility in a lot of the pieces chosen for this release ... of course now I want more XD Starting with the accessories, there are 11 pairs of shoes, which include some classic designs like the Wooden Platforms which have certainly been popular. I really like the boots on offer, the Brown Tigh High Boots caught my eye immediately - these look fantastic and I love the colour, perfect for the upcoming Autumn. The Yellow Rose Boots also stand out with their unique design in grey and yellow, something quite unique for the Plaza. I also like the Pointed Red Stilletos, super sleek and stylish and will work in so many outfits, a perfect option if you don't already have a pair of red heels. There are 5 bags, in a range of colours and styles. I really like the idea of the Maroon Camera Bag, colour is beautiful and the tucked under the arm style is a nice inclusion. The Black Slouchy Bag is very tempting too, I really like the slouched style, it looks great and I think in black makes it a classic piece. There are a range of other accessories piece, I definitely like the inclusion of some different items like the Chained Scarves in Purple and Blue, these are something different for the Plaza and I think they look good. I really love the Swan Belt, this is reminiscent of an LE piece and I think it will be good with other swan-style accessories. There are some jewellery pieces as well, for me these aren't so much pieces I'd go for or have noticed so much in the store.
Onto the clothing. For me the first floor really popped, I like the orange and brown tones a lot - the Acne Orange Floral Pants sure stand out and catch the eye immediately! The Purse Mini Skirt also stands out, a unique design that's been well done and looks great on the doll too - another great Autumn piece. From here I also like the Sheer Tied Top, the flashes of orange on it look good and is a good starter into wearing orange if you're not ready to commit to a piece like the trousers. The Black Rose and Cream Embroidered Corsets are also nice pieces, contrasting colours and versatile so I think they will work in a range of outfits, I like the bow detail and the intricate pattern on these. The Buckle Leather Jacket is also a nice basic in this floor and I think it will be very popular and it works well as either a jacket or a dress. The second floor brings some brighter tones with pinks and greens. I really like the vibes and mix of styles on this floor, but for me personally there's not a lot I would choose. I do however really like the Nude Sweater, Nude Tied Sweater and Nude Tank Skirt combo, super cute and we don't have a lot of sets like this in the Plaza, plus it fits the doll very nicely. Plus these will work separately well too. The final floor has blues and neutrals with some super cute designs, albeit not so much pieces I would wear, like the Blue Ribbon Dress or the Blue Crochet Top and Skirt co-ord. I absolutely love the Stud Pants though, I purchased those as soon as I saw them and I'm really looking forward to styling them, and while the Bra Tee Shirt isn't my typical style I really like it on the mannequin with the Pants and also with pops of red, there's lots of styling options there.
F E A T U R E S
First up is Bianca.Vos in such a sweet pastel look pairing pinks and blues, it pops so well and features the Nude Sweater, Nude Tied Sweater and Nude Tank Skirt set which seem to have been so easy to style. I love the addition of the blue corset, this piece has the same vertical ribbing as the collection pieces so it's a perfect fit and I love the shapes the blue brings to the pink pieces. I also love the pink tights and shoes here, super cute and the pinks are very fitting with the clothing items. Loving the overcoat of course, but have to point out the jewellery choices, such perfection for the outfit, really love them!
Next is harpie, style icon of course also wearing the release - opting for the Sheer Tied Top, Black Jumpsuit, Long Strap Purse and Pointed Red Stilletos all working perfectly together. The black pieces are a great base for the look, the reds pop against it and I think the sheer fabric of the top also stands out very nicely. Accessorising is great, the jewellery choices are great with the studded skirt and the ties on the necklace are a nice pair with all the ties on the top too^
Last but not least, it's Miloshki also choosing a more pastel based look but opting for yellow tones, styling up both the Yellow Rose Boots and the free top-up item, the Bow Gown - I wasn't sure about this dress when I saw it on the advertising, but styled I think it looks fabulous! The grey of the dress is a perfect pair for the boot base which really makes those flowers pop. The pastel yellow skirting is a fun addition and I think it works out great for the look, not only in colour but also the flowing draping style with the style of the bows too. Love the simple accessory additions otherwise, this bag is super cute adding in some glam pearl details =)
Lovely post dear! tysm.
