Acne Studios collaborates with Kappa to launch a 22-piece capsule collection of denim, sportswear and accessories for Spring/Summer 2025. Starring British record producer Tricky, the campaign is captured by photographer Jordan Hemingway and styled by Léopold Duchemin. The collaboration is heightened by Hemingway’s raw style.

The capsule collection features football jerseys, second-skin layers, tracksuits, denim, sneakers, and a unique iteration of the Acne Studios’ Bowlina bag. The capsule mixes traditional sportswear codes with iconic Acne Studios silhouettes, inspired from retro football kits.

“I have always loved Kappa. Rebels wear Kappa, which appeals to me – it’s sportswear for the cool kids.In a world where the lines between classic workwear, streetwear, ready-to-wear and sportswear are blurred, it feels totally natural for Acne Studios to collaborate with Kappa on a collection that represents a modernway of dressing,” says Jonny Johansson, Creative Director of Acne Studios

Key pieces include the flame-printedfootball jersey in the brand’s emblematic pink with the Kappa and Acne Studios logos; the pale-wash denimand tracksuit pants with Kappa logo taping running down the legs; and the second-skin T-shirts which recallfootball players’ moisture-wicking base layers. In accessories, the Bowlina bag, which made its debut on the Acne Studios SS25 runway, is reinterpreted with the flame motif and dual logos, alongside a logo brandedbaseball cap, and a pair of sneakers and knee-high socks inspired by football kit.

“Tricky’s music has had a real impact on my life. I’ve been a fan fora long time, and it just made sense to work with him for this project” says Jonny Johansson.“ Great people – really fun day – I usually get nervous in a room full of people I don’t know - but they made it feel like family,” adds Tricky, reflecting on the creative process behind the campaign.

The Acne Studios x Kappa collection is available on acnestudios.com, and in Acne Studios stores worldwide from 3 April.
