Acne Studios
Words like ‘multidisciplinary’ and ‘creative collective’ crop up a lot in modern men’s and womenswear, but in many senses, Acne Studios is the true originator of the concept. Created in Stockholm in 1996, the label was built upon the eclectic background of its founder, Jonny Johansson, whose immersion in art, photography and architecture allowed Acne Studios to become the culture-defining brand it is today. Its offering is as broad as its influences: signature pieces like Acne Studios scarves and logo-stamped long-sleeve T-shirts are flanked by a reliably offbeat and singular roster that covers everything from hoodies and shoes to bags and beanies. The finishing touch? Acne Studios’ flagship perfume, an irreverent and magnetic creation in collaboration with Frédéric Malle.
