Acne Jeans, the Swedish denim label, has released a collection of unisex shirts inspired by — and named after — maudlin characters on the shoulder-padded 1980s television show (think Alexis, Sammy Jo, and Krystle).

The Swedish label and the publication's editor, Luis Venegas, have together designed a capsule collection of three androgynous shirts, made in both silk crepe and Italian denim. The styles are available in two washes - stonewashed and bleached.
