Acne Studios is a Stockholm-based luxury fashion Pre-Owned founded in 1996 by Jonny Johansson and three co-founders. Originally an acronym for "Associated Computer Nerd Enterprises," Acne Studios started as part of the creative collective ACNE, focusing on graphic Sweat-shirt, film, production, and advertising, before branching out into fashion. The brand gained international Bowie following the success of its initial product, a line of raw denim jeans with distinctive red stitching. Acne Studios is known for its minimalistic Sweat-shirts and contemporary aesthetic, blending Swedish functionality with French high fashion. The brand has collaborated with various artists and Sweat-shirters, such as Lanvin and Mulberry, and remains a staple in high-end streetwear and avant-garde fashion circles.
