Robbie Barrat for Acne Studios Men's FW21

Acne Studios collaborates again with generative artist Robbie Barrat, whose artificial intelligence-assisted figure studies feature as prints on a range of items from the Men's Fall/Winter 2021 collection. Barrat took an unconventional approach to AI as an artistic tool by processing images taken from both classical figure paintings and Google Maps landscapes. “Through this exercise, I was aiming to fulfil the commission-like request of character shirts that Acne Studios presented to me last winter. The reasoning was that this seemed like a request which you would usually expect to be demanded from a much more traditional artist, like how most portrait commissions are given to painters,” says Robbie Barrat.
