Wiki history and profile for Acne Paper:
The founder and editor at large of Acne Paper was Jonny Johansson. The headquarters of the magazine was in Stockholm and it had an office in Paris.
Aiming to merge the historical with the contemporary, each issue of Acne Paper evolved around a key theme with the purpose of representing all creative practices in the context of history, philosophy, science, journalism and other academia. Textual content consisted of interviews, prose, poems and essays that together with fashion editorial, visual portfolios and artwork formulates its approach to the creative industry and its cultural voice and expression.
By creating a high-profile publishing product in an A3 ISO 216 format, Acne Paper was part of revolutionising brand communication as Acne does not advertise or market itself in traditional fashion media such as editorial campaigns.
The New York Times’ Cathy Horyn writes “Acne Paper, under the editorship of Thomas Persson, is fast becoming one of the best little fashion magazines ... the envy of mainstream glossies".. As well as "The appeal of Acne Paper was the unfettered blend of the new and the nostalgic, except it doesn’t feel like nostalgia in this context. Maybe it just feels free".
Eric Wilson, also of The New York Times writes “Acne Paper, has also become a cult hit, like Andy Warhol's Interview in the early days, for its insider perspective on the most obscure corners of fashion and its wealth of big-name contributors".
Susannah Frankel of The Independent writes "There is an organic and authentic quality to Acne Paper, a sense of it extending above and beyond an obviously commercially viable concern, which is genuinely inspiring."
Excellent condition, near mint. Small impression above the barcode near the spine otherwise fine and contents perfect. It is almost 15 years old after all... This is a huge oversized and heavy large format periodical, sorry about postage costs!
