Diner Nite Tee | Diner Fog Hoody
Immortalised on-screen in cult classics such as Pulp Fiction and The Big Lebowski, the quintessential burger-and-shake diner is a timeless symbol of cinematic Americana that's recognisable the world over. Evocative of a kitsch conceptualisation of youth culture, underpinned with a dose of hard to place nostalgia, the American diner is a wistful calling card from the days before digital; when fries with friends was more than just an excuse for an Instagram story.
This celebration of the codes and conventions of old-school diner America sets the stage for a graphic-heavy capsule of premium streetwear pieces from internationally revered Swedish label, Acne Studios.
Arriving in a retro-bright palette and embellished with an array of classic diner images and symbols, Acne nods to a bygone halcyon era fetishized by a downtrodden generation that missed the party. Imbued with a Stranger-Things-come-Twin-Peaks surrealism, the collection's blend of contemporary and classic screen references demonstrates the pop-culture savvy that defines the successes of Acne's irreverent capsules.
Our capsule collections are a space for us to have some fun, experimenting with different symbols and objects. I have always loved the cinematic settings diners create, the youthful culture, and the way individual staff plays with their uniforms to create an expression.- Jonny Johansson, Founder, Acne Studios -
