Good-bye 2011.

HELLO 2012!

We are happy to start our first shipment of 2012 with Acne clothing.

About Acne:

Acne’s beginnings are the result of 100 pairs of unisex jeans that were distributed among friends and family. Originating in Stockholm, Acne’s objective was “to create and develop a lifestyle brand through desirable products, as well as helping other people to build their brands.” It is no surprise that Acne is an acronym for: Ambition to Create Novel Expression.

The iconic jeans were unique and were characterized by bright-red stitching. Major companies and stores wanted to carry the jeans. Jonny Johnansson saw this as an opportunity and began designing beyond the jeans, creating his first collection in 1998. Since then, Acne’s aesthetic is known for “the subtle luxury and understated items originates from the ethos that the clothes should feel like someone’s wardrobe. Cool and personal. The result is that nothing dominates anything else, yet every piece is effortlessly stylish.”

“Fashion is the best form of self-expression. We like to design pieces that together form the coolest wardrobe, but is ultimately wearable. It becomes one way of thinking as individual pieces, but together creates a strong, modern and considered statement.” explains Jonny Johansson, Acne’s Creative Director.

Acne’s aesthetic is eclectic, unique, fresh, and distinguishable from any other brand in Lark, and designers in general. It is obvious in the architectural designs that “fun” is incorporated in the creation of each piece. The collection is like a collection of art, but wearable pieces of art.

The Acne collective is so passionate and creative, that we can’t help but be enamored with the brand, the designs, and the overall platform underpinning the company.

It is with this in mind that we are ecstatic to be carrying Acne at Lark.
