Flagship stores worldwide adopt the latest issue of "Acne Paper 20 'Golden'"
Cracking open Acne Paper's Issue 20, a gold-dusted love letter to its 20-year journey
Get ready to dive into boundless creativity with Acne Paper's newest issue, "Golden," celebrating their two-decade mark in the world of print. After a brief hiatus in 2014, the biannual magazine makes a grand comeback, weaving the past and present in a tantalizing, golden tapestry that leaves no doubt about the enduring charm of print media.
Take a stroll down Parisian, New York, and Beijing's fashionable avenues, as you find Acne Studios' flagships adorned not with mannequins, but the captivating portraits of Raya Martigny by acclaimed photographer Szilveszter Makó, turning passersby into curious readers before the door even opens. The magic doesn't stop there - step inside, and let the gold-infused stories, essays, interviews, and art portfolios sweep you away, chronicling the brand's 2005 to 2025 journey.
The roster of esteemed contributors is a dream team, boasting collaborations between dynamic duos like Sarah Moon with Patti Wilson, Leslie Zhang with Audrey Hu, and Rafael Pavarotti with George Krakowiak. Their unique perspectives on gold, from multiple angles, merge to create a breath-taking, live mix of past and present, avoiding a limelight-hogging greatest-hits album.
The issue doesn't just celebrate two decades but also ponders the essence of keeping a record. From the archives to the present, the pieces move, pulsating with life instead of resting in glass cases. Acne Paper's hybrid size, straddling the line between book and glossy, underscores this intent - something meant for the shelf, yet wholly intended for your reading pleasure first.
Grab your copy of "Golden" in select Acne Studios stores or online, where it doubles as a mesmerizing street-level installation until the next window changes.
