ACNE STUDIOS F/W 2020

For its FW20 collection, Acne Studios has partnered with artist Lydia Blakeley by placing her prints on certain pieces. The British artist draws her inspiration for her works mainly from show dogs and cats. For the launch of the collection, Acne Studios featured its employees and their dogs through a series of portraits, photographed by Anders Edström at the Stockholm headquarters, which was recently inaugurated last November. All dressed with pieces from the collection, combined with oversized suits, they tell us through an interview, the anecdotes lived with their trusted companions.

“A while ago I became a dog owner myself. Ever since then I’ve started to notice the ‘dog people’, walking, being and dressing. I didn’t see them in the same way before and now I guess I’ve become one myself. For this collection, I wanted to highlight and credit that subculture for all the inspiration it has given me.” says Jonny Johansson, Creative Director of Acne Studios.

Among the team of in-house models there is Pontus Björkman, Global Wholesale Director and his Yorkshire Terrier Kenzo; Edouard Schneider, Global Communications Director and his Miniature Dachshund Pumba; Ioana Ciocan, Technical Designer and her French Bulldog Melvin and more!
