Swedish design collective Acne, aka ambition to create novel expressions was founded in Stockholm in 1997 by Jonny Johansson. The current day aesthetic of Acne Studios, now producing ready to wear pieces to accompany their still iconic denim range, is heavily focused on an exploration of the conceptual. Acne’s aesthetic of heavy layering captures a collision between concept and construction and is grounded in the brand’s futuristic origins. Showcasing ingenious tailoring and attention to detail on custom designed fabrics and prints, Acne Studios is the definitive source of Swedish experimental design.
