Acne Studios

The Acne Studios story

From art to fashion

Acne Studios is a direct reflection of its creator Jonny Johansson. Since 1996, Johansson has been a huge fan of art, architecture and fashion. With passions as big as his, Johansson teamed up with his partners to create Acne Studios. A project infused with artistic flair, Acne—an acronym for Ambition to Create Novel Expressions—began as a capsule collection composed of 100 pairs of unisex jeans. This collection went on to enjoy immediate success and garner tons of media attention.

From Stockholm to Tokyo

Acne Studios quickly became an iconic brand in its own right with its unique style, mix of genres and androgynous silhouettes. The Swedish brand impressed customers with its oversized cuts, graphic prints and timeless classics. Who hasn’t dreamed of owning a pair of Acne jeans or one of the label’s original pairs of shoes? Acne Studios was a true success and is now internationally recognised in boutiques at the heart of the world’s most beautiful cities: New York, Paris, Los Angeles, London, Tokyo... a list that keeps on growing. This iconic label isn’t just for adults, however. Recently launching a line of kids' designer clothes inspired by pieces from their adult collections, kids can look just as sharp as their adult counterparts. The Acne Studios junior collection is made up of girls' and boys' jeans, as well as timeless pieces that we can’t help but fall in love with.
