Not sure how I feel about this conceptual furniture, but I appreciate the originality.

Acne have always been ahead of the game, but I don’t know how this is going to fly with a more conservative shopping crowd this year. The innovative boots sport quite the high wedged heel for men, and unless you’re on the short side these boots may be a bit to high for your liking. I like the design though! What do you think, Yay or nay?

Everyone knows how great Acne Jeans are so there was no suprise when they rolled out another solid line of denim. However, the true suprise for me were the amazing leather items. The big leather duffles and colored leather boots (I need them!) are what caused me to drool on my laptop. Inspired by the 1950′s, the subtle grays and navys create an elegant stylish feel.

Another day, another designer collaboration.

Alber Elbaz from Lanvin for Acne Jeans.

Everyone’s talking about it. Are you?

I’m not cause it’s just not that exciting to me. What can Alber possibly do to jeans that hasn’t already been done by better designers a million times before?

Maybe I’m just not as much as a sucker, but when a big name designer decides to partner with a company for something as specific as jeanswear, it usually means a bunch of overhyped, overpriced unstylish garbage which shouldn’t be worn by anyone with half a stylish braincell cause a) everyone will be able to identify it, which means b) you’re really starved for attention and c) you have too much money to spend on getting noticed.

So ladies, before you drop $500 for a pair of Acne Jeans (just thinking they’ll be in that range cause of Lanvin’s history) realize that no one thinks you’re as special as you believe yourself to be. Seriously, no one.

New Yorkers who used to stalk the Barney’s Co-Op denim section for Acne tube jeans can now breathe a little easier in, well, their high-waisted jeans—the Swedish sensation has finally landed stateside with their first U.S. boutique. The store opened last week in Soho at 10 Greene Street between Canal and Grand (R.I.P. the Cloak boutique). Known mostly in these parts for their desirable denim, the label actually encompasses an entire range of clothing and shoes. And, in fact, the label isn’t just a label, it’s a collective, with arms in film, media and publishing. So, in addition to a new pair of jeans, a super-soft jersey tee and a pair of Nylite sneakers (part of their collaboration with Tretorn), you can also pick up a copy of Acne Paper, the company’s biannual, large-format, coffee table magazine.

Acne’s studio profile includes outposts in Stockholm, Berlin and Vienna, and the opening of the Soho studio coincides with its first French location, in Paris, naturallement. The Parisian store is located within the intimate shopping arcade inside the Jardin du Palais Royal, and counts Marc Jacobs and Didier Ludot as neighbors. While all the studios are representative of the overall concept of the brand, each one has a separate identity. In Paris, the grandeur and finery of the Palais are reflected in the airy space, while the Soho atelier’s small scale injects a more intimate feel into the experience. The entrance into the New York retail landscape, and the expansion into France, are both part of creative director Jonny Johansson’s overall goal to build the identity of the brand well beyond dungarees.
