Cross-Branded Creative Collectives

Acne Spans Fashion, Advertising, Film, and Magazines

The above gallery features the S/S collection of Acne's women's wear and a couple of gorgeous silhouettes from the main line. I absolutely love this brand. It is so simple and utterly chic in a modern Scandinavian way.

The Swedish fashion brand Acne is far more than just the official term for pimples. It's quickly developing into the coolest creative collective, with holdings in fashion, magazine publishing, advertising, product development, design, online production, commercials, kids' toys and characters, feature films, and music videos.
