Established in 1996, Acne Studio began life as an advertising agency and loose-collective, making film and music under the name “Ambition to Create Novel Expressions”. The Swedish brand now adds to its impressive list of twenty existing stores, with its first UK store opening in London. The new store covers four floors of a former gallery in Mayfair and fills a minimalist white space with artworks from the likes of Helmut Lang, Katerina Jebb and Husam el Odeh. With expansion firmly on the mind, another store is set to open soon in Paris, in the form of a converted garage in the Marais.

Acne designer Jonny Johansson’s recent inspiration for his Spring/Summer 2011 line stems from an adolescent memory: Discotecs. Johansson recalls his youth and Disco fashion such as platform shoes, polyester, and wide-legged pants certainly motivating him to create mirror-like frames with unorthodox lens shapes. Acne’s recent presentation in Paris also displayed their collaboration with Thierry Lasky. The Spring/Summer 2011 line is expected to attract a multitude of sunglass enthusiasts with their wide range of colors and shapes.

London-based YMC (You Must Create) offers an impressive preview of their upcoming FW10 collection. The heavily bearded model works well with the classic UK knitwear and woven looks.
