ACNE women’s collection 2012 at Tenue de Nîmes

ACNE or Ambition to Create Novel Expressions has its roots in Scandinavian design – simple, functional & loaded with attitude. These characteristic raw denim jeans with their bright red stitching were born in 1997, when four creatives designed a hundred pairs of unisex jeans for friends and family. Soon, ACNE gained a huge following and opened its store in Stockholm in 2003. Acne Studios now designs and markets jeans and apparel worldwide, and offers innovative and functional jeans styles, tailored jackets, accessories and shoes.

Get a  taste of ACNE fashion at Amsterdam’s Tenue de Nîmes. ACNE’s women 2012 is a functional and preppy collection smattered with black and white, and the hallmark blue. Expect high waists, and metallic and padded fabrics, and asymmetrical miniskirts.
