WHAT KIND OF STYLE DESCRIBES ACNE STUDIOS?

Describing Acne Studios’ style is not an easy task. Minimalistic, timeless, yet loud enough to make head turns with fun colors and layering. Johansson’s unique ability to design unconventional and essential items ranging from full collections to single pieces is what makes Acne Studios special and a leader in today’s fashion industry.
