Acne

Acne Clothing is a creative brand which focuses include fashion and art. The name stands for Ambition to Create Novel Expression. The group was formed by Johnny Johansson in 1996. They are know for their semi-luxury wear as well as their innovated design in denim. The Acne studios, which are the retail stores, are used to market the brand philosophy as well as sale merchandising and carry branded Acne jeans, shoes, boots and more. The company mirrors the concept from Warhol’s Factory as a creative collective designing and producing furniture, music and film, with fashion almost an afterthought. They have been cited by Interview magazine as,”the leading fashion force for the next generation.”

The Acne Fashion…is based on classic jeans and work attitudes. Mr. Johansson, in a roundabout way, compares his work to that of a musician, creating an emotion through color and variations of fit rather than notes and melody. The tone of the brand is a subtle luxury that is understated, which originates from the idea that clothes should feel like an individuals wardrobe. Sharp, easy, familiar, and personal. The result is that nothing overwhelms or dominates anything else, yet every piece is extremely stylish.

Acne was the first major fashion company to see a opportunity and filled it with just 100 pairs of unisex jeans. The jeans were then featured in Elle magazine and became the basis of Acne Jeans. Today they now sells over 300,000 pairs of jeans a year, and led them to explore other products in the fashion lines.

There are 21 Acne studios around the world including in Stockholm, London, Paris, New York, Berlin, Oslo, Copenhagen, and Amsterdam. The brands clothing is available in over 45 countries through 650 stores or retail departments. The Acne fashion line of products include apparel for women and men, outerwear, shoes, bags and accessories. The company is also involved in a wide array of creative projects. These ventures include a film studio, music production and events. Acne also has a fledgling furniture and houseware line of products.
