Acne Studios has also dropped a limited-edition T-shirt collaboration with Robyn, inspired by lyrics from the singer's latest single, "Dopamine." Robyn performed the song live for the first time during a one-night-only Spotify x Acne Studios concert at L.A.'s Fonda Theatre in November. The T-shirt is made from a cotton and hemp blend with a relaxed fit and distressed trim, and features the words, "I'm tripping on our chemistry" displayed on the front in a red spray paint-style effect. A red Acne Studios and Spotify stamp adorns the back neckline.

"Robyn felt like a natural collaborator; we've known each other for many years and for me there was something about the collection that was very her," says Acne Studios Creative Director Jonny Johansson, who also asked the Swedish musician to create the SS26 show's soundtrack, held at Paris' Collège des Bernardins last October. "We hadn't even seen each other's latest work, but somehow we were both exploring the same thing – questioning and celebrating this classic idea of female identity, pushing against it and embracing it at the same time."
"I've known Jonny for a very long time, and we've collaborated in different ways, we've been orbiting each other for a long time," adds Robyn. "But this time felt more collaborative than ever."
SS26 CAMPAIGN
Acne Studio Poplin Button-Up Shirt
Robyn wears this short-sleeve button-up shirt in the campaign images. The shirt is finished with military-style epaulettes and chest pockets, with a satin logo label.
The Acne Studios SS26 is hailed as an "interplay between menswear and womenswear which proposes an alternate protagonist – one where identity is ever-shifting, never fixed." In the same way, Robyn has teased that her upcoming album will be a mix of styles and genres. Indeed, at her Spotify show in L.A., the singer (literally) danced between her fan-favorite pop hits and her more experimental work with Röyksopp and La Bagatelle Magique.
Sexistential (Vinyl)
$32.99
The nine-track LP is out March 27.
"Robyn has always followed her own rhythm, and there's something fearless in that – but it's a fearlessness that comes from sensitivity, not ego," says Johansson. "She's never trying to impress anyone, and that's rare. I'm drawn to people who create worlds, and she does that."
