Not long after Jonny Johansson staged a fake, messy wedding for his SS23 collection, Acne Studios partnered-off with Rosalía, who now stars in the brand’s AW22 campaign. Shot by Paul Kooiker, the musician is dressed in a slew of hard and fast looks – all oversized blazers, patchwork-tattered denims, and military boots. But with her Godiva tresses bound to her naked body with a hulking belt, she also makes an usual case for the merkin: a lustrous, pubic wig beloved of hair and make-up artists working on American sitcoms. According to the press release, the objective of the campaign was to “reimagine her as a historical muse,” with Johnasson describing Rosalía as the embodiment of Acne Studios thanks to her “unique ability to shape shift through time, history and culture, all with a contemporary lens.”
