About the brand

Acne Studios is a Stockholm-based fashion house founded in 1996 by Jonny Johansson as part of the creative collective ACNE, originally standing for "Associated Computer Nerd Enterprises" and later evolving to "Ambition to Create Novel Expressions." The brand began with 100 pairs of raw denim jeans featuring distinctive red stitching that Johansson gave away to friends and family, quickly catching the attention of major fashion publications like Wallpaper and Vogue Paris. What sets Acne Studios apart is its multidisciplinary approach, seamlessly blending fashion with art, photography, architecture, and contemporary culture. The brand is renowned for its minimalist Scandinavian design philosophy, innovative use of materials, and signature clean lines. From its iconic embroidered face patch to its distinctive use of color palettes including the famous "Acne Studios pink," the brand has grown into a global fashion powerhouse with flagship stores worldwide while maintaining its commitment to pushing creative boundaries and creating novel expressions in contemporary fashion.

What people are saying

Vogue Hong Kong

Björk's bear injected a satisfyingly surreal playfulness, but there were also plenty of seriously covetable clothes on Johansson's runway today.

A showing that intricately balanced the tranquility of the outdoors with the cutting-edge bright lights of the city, a subtle balance Acne has come to be known and loved for.

I think that Acne Studios' handbag designs are definitely more on the unisex side of things. Their bags emphasize modern, clean lines in dark or neutral colors with edgy hardware.

If you're looking for jeans that combine timeless style, premium craftsmanship, and an unbeatable fit, the Acne Studios Loose Jeans 2021M are absolutely worth it.

I absolutely love my Acne Studios clothing. It's so high quality and made with real, sustainable materials. The price point is really high but when taken care of correctly, the clothing will last forever. Their customer service is amazing as well.

The color and texture of the leather is so pretty. Silver was 100% the right choice. The size is perfect. It's big enough to hold all my daily essentials (cardholder wallet, keys, sunglasses, a pouch of odds and ends, a few other small items) with a little room to spare. I don't have to downsize at all. I can just toss my stuff in. The strap is super versatile.

I like them, cool alternative to sambas/GATs. They have a bit more personality imo.

The Impression

It's not the most memorable runway outing from the house and it doesn't do too much to evolve its vision forward, but it certainly has a distinct point of view and a unique approach to the craft of building a wardrobe.

I am personally a huge fan of acne studios jeans. I love the feel of them, the different washes as well as their pink stitching at certain places.

Sep, 2024

The quality feels quite high to me although I don't know if I would pay full price for it.

Inconsistent sizing across models. Really inconsistent sizing across models.

In terms of price : quality ratio, no is the simple answer but of course people buy clothes for more than just material quality. There is fit, aesthetic, etc.
