Acne Studios is a Stockholm-based fashion house with a multidisciplinary approach. Through founder and Creative Director Jonny Johansson’s interest in photography, art, architecture and contemporary culture, an alternative path has been found, turning Acne Studios into a well-respected creator of ready-to-wear, magazines, furniture, books and exhibitions.
Acne Studios HQ is located in Stockholm, in a brutalist masterpiece that formerly housed the Czechoslovakian Embassy. Completely restored to facilitate a fashion school-like atmosphere, the overall aesthetic reflects the Acne Studios brand identity, telling the story of its history and global vision. Acne Studios also operates offices in Paris, Empoli, New York, Shanghai, and Tokyo.
Acne Studios has seen double-digit growth for most years since our inception. We operate through own distribution channels and wholesale partners with >60 own stores worldwide, including flagship stores in Stockholm, Paris, Milan, London, New York City, Los Angeles, Seoul, Tokyo, and Beijing. Each store has a unique distinctive character, yet with common key design elements reflecting the Acne Studios brand identity.
Following our ambitious sustainability work and focus on supplier relationships and longevity, Acne Studios has been independently verified as “Leader” by Fair Wear Foundation for six consecutive years.
Acne Studios is an official member of the Fédération de la Haute Couture et de la Mode since 2013.
ENSEMBLE DEPUIS 2008.
En ouvrant la voie du luxe accessible avec ses silhouettes Dandy Rock très identifiables et ses campagnes inoubliables, The Kooples a marqué le style des années 2000. Aujourd’hui, The Kooples célèbre son héritage et réédite ses pièces phares. Comme un best-of dans lequel on se plonge avec une pointe de nostalgie.

TOGETHER SINCE 2008.
Opening the way to accessible luxury with its immediate recognizable Dandy Rock silhouettes and its unforgettable campaigns, The Kooples marked the wardrobe of the 2000s. Fast forward 15 years, we celebrate our heritage with a re-edition of our most iconic pieces. An ode to our greatest-hits, with a touch of nostalgia.
About Maison Margiela
Founded in 1988 by Belgian designer Martin Margiela, the Parisian haute couture house was founded on ideas of nonconformity and the subversion of norms. Enriched in the memory of shared codes, contemporary couture starts the conversation for a dynamic wardrobe proposal. The Maison is devoted to uncompromising creativity invigorated by authenticity, radicality and self-expression.
Maison Margiela became part of the OTB Group in 2002, and is under the creative direction of Glenn Martens since 2025.
About OTB
OTB is an international fashion group, powering a range of global, unconventional brands, including Diesel, Jil Sander, Maison Margiela, Marni, and Viktor&Rolf. The group also controls the Staff International and Brave Kid companies, and holds a stake in L.A. brand Amiri.
OTB embodies the brave, innovative and unapologetic spirit and vision of its founder and chairman Renzo Rosso, who disrupted the world of fashion with an open-minded, highly creative mentality, aimed at “building not the biggest, but the most alternative fashion group,” as he stated.
