COMP ANY OVER V I EW

Acne Studios is a Stockholm based multidisciplinary fashion house founded in 1997.

The name stands for Ambition to Create Novel Expressions. Through his interests in photography, art, architecture, and contemporary culture, founder and Creative Director Jonny Johansson has created an alternative path. This has turned Acne Studios into an esteemed creator of ready-to-wear, magazines, furniture, books, and exhibitions.

The collections are defined by Johansson’s signature juxtaposition of design and attention to detail while emphasizing tailoring and his eclectic use of materials and custom fabrics.

In 2012, the brand decided to incorporate the use of environmentally stable materials and aims to produce all products as responsible as possible.

Instead of using traditional forms of marketing and advertising, Acne Studios publishes a biannual magazine called Acne Paper, with a focus on design, fashion, photography, and art.

Acne Studios has become a global fashion house with retail stores around the world including Paris, London, New York, Los Angeles, Antwerp and Tokyo.

SUST AIN ABLE CON C E P T

Our sustainable concept is to create a weatherproof jacket for Acne Studios using recycled denim for the Spring/Summer 2017 collection. The jacket was constructed using pieces of recycled jeans coated with vinyl bond to make it weatherproof. Our jacket is inspired

by Acne’s minimalistic aesthetic incorporating patchwork details and boxy silhouettes.

This jacket aims to reduce Acne’s carbon footprint and raise awareness about the fashion industry’s impact on the environment.

By recycling what would have otherwise been waste, we have created a garment that serves many purposes.
