  • Acne, which stands for "Ambition to Create Novel Expresion", was founded in 1996 in Sweden as a 4-person collective, making high-quality raw denim jeans.
  • Led by Creative Director Jonny Johansson, Acne began to branch out to other areas, presenting a complete collection for the first time in 1998.
  • The collections focus on quality basics with a twist.
  • Acne now is a full fledged lifestyle company, putting together full clothing and accessories programs for men and women, as well as forays into film, publishing and digital design.
