I love Petit Bateau and I adore Carven so a collaboration between the two is in my opinion a match made in heaven!

The beautiful pre-fall collection from Acne was inspired by the Swedish artist August Strindberg who's work I happened to adore. Exaggerated shapes and volumes has become quite a thing by the ultra cool scandi brand. Looking forward to see what Johansson pulls out of the bag for AW13!

YMC sale! Yeah!
