During the Acne Studios spring-summer 2027 runway show, the Collège des Bernardins in Paris was transformed into a galleon, or a large sailing ship, surrounded by a pirate-themed atmosphere. Massive crystal chandeliers appeared to emerge from all directions, while impressive oriental carpets with distorted patterns imagined by artist Faig Ahmed adorned the walls. The show featured a pirate aesthetic reinterpreted by Jonny Johansson, creative director of the Scandinavian house, through a rebellious and subversive prism characteristic of Acne Studios. This approach is known for blending high fashion with an edgy, sometimes unconventional style. The collection included silhouettes inspired by historical pirate codes and punk references, with models wearing beige leather capris with notched lapels, shoes with metal loops inspired by pirate shoes, and boots with notched flaps in the style of Jack Sparrow in Pirates of the Caribbean. Oversized tops decorated with eyelets at the neckline, brown leather pants layered over voluminous, pleated, and draped skirts, and transformed tricorn hats were also featured. These designs showcased a blend of historical and contemporary elements, reimagining pirate fashion with a modern twist. The trend, referred to as Piratecore, had previously made a notable return in 2025 with a more poetic and romantic version, characterized by a palette of earthy tones, deep reds, and black. The 2027 collection aimed to give the trend a more radical and modern energy, emphasizing bold shapes and materials that reflect Acne Studios' signature aesthetic. This approach seeks to push the boundaries of traditional fashion while maintaining a connection to the past. One question remains: will Piratecore, carried by the Swedish house, experience the same enthusiasm as the western phenomenon? As Acne Studios continues to innovate, the success of Piratecore will depend on how well it resonates with current fashion trends and consumer preferences.
