It appears shoppers have decided that 300 bucks is too much to spend on a pair of jeans. To these people, Acne says: HA! But those of you with an extra $2K lying around will be pleased to know that the Swedish brand is introducing new styles of made-to-order jeans for spring that will extract [...]

Sweden is having a subtle but strong (in other words, very Swedish) moment right now: There’s Let the Right One In at the box office, Stieg Larsson on the bestseller lists, Fever Ray on the indie charts, and Acne advancing on all fronts. And Stockholm was where it was at over the weekend, when Swedish [...]

I spent yesterday at Capsule, an upstart trade show here in Las Vegas, where many of the most progressive young labels are showing—it’s a good barometer for next year’s trends. What will the cool kids be wearing in 2010? By the looks of it, anything that hearkens back to 1994. I spotted paisley print button-downs [...]

There isn’t a fashion watcher on earth who isn’t dying to know what the news for Spring’s going to be—and the action’s already started in London at Acne’s presentation. Even from halfway across the room and through a thicket of models standing in formation, it was easy to zero in on the newest idea: two [...]

I just spent the past two weeks in Los Angeles, and while I was there, I very coincidentally spent a lot of time thinking about shoes.

Make of this information what you will: I was recently informed by the publicists for both Acne and Ksubi that the denim makers will be introducing their “skinniest jeans ever” for fall. (Same wording, both times.) Given that neither Acne nor Ksubi has ever been known for the roominess of their fits, this bit of [...]

“It’s got to be a bit mad, doesn’t it?” said Yasmin Sewell, creative consultant for the recently revamped Liberty store. “It is Liberty, after all.” After an extensive renovation aimed at modernizing Liberty and restoring the landmark to its concept shop roots, the store debuted its new look on February 15. “We’ve tightened our edit [...]

Acne presented its new Fall collection at Stockholm Fashion Week yesterday. Fans who couldn’t make it to Sweden to see the show, which took place at a stately, sculpture-filled home called Millesgården and featured models on plinths (good thing too, those platform boots look mighty high), will be happy to hear that the label is [...]

Seeing as it only happens twice a year, the publication of an issue of Acne Paper is a cause celebre in its own right. The magazine’s editor in chief, Thomas Persson, in town for tonight’s launch party at the New York Public Library, talked to Style.com about the future of the world, how to shop, [...]

I’m not so great with early starts, but during Paris fashion week I need to break all my rules. I’m sure I’ll perk up once I see the extraordinary dresses at Balmain, which is my first appointment. I’m thinking I need to wear a nice dress today—I’m tired of looking like a [...]
