Acne was founded in Stockholm in 1996 by four creatives with an ambition to create and develop a lifestyle brand and to help other people to build their brands.
Acne was one of the first brands to see a gap in the market for denim and used this forward thinking to create 100 pairs of unisex jeans. A feature in the Swedish Elle magazine followed and soon, Sweden’s leading boutiques wanted to carry the characteristic jeans with bright-red stitching.
Jonny Johansson ACNE’s creative director, branched out into other design genres. The first full collection was launched in 1998, and the subtle luxury and understated items set the tone for the brand.
With stores and projects across nine countries, Acne is today recognized internationally as a creative collective, unique for its corporate diversity in fashion, graphic design, film production and advertising, as well as product, business and concept development.
Today the full team reaches over 200, each as enthusiastic about the brand as the original four creatives.
