Industrial Elegance in Pure Aluminum



Acne Studios, known for its modern and sophisticated designs that appeal to both men and women, is opening its first Osaka flagship store, following the launch of its first Asian flagship in Aoyama, Tokyo, last year. The store will carry a comprehensive range of items, including menswear, womenswear, denim, accessories, and shoes. Menswear will be on the first floor, with womenswear on the second.

In addition to Aoyama, Acne Studios opened new stores in SoHo, New York last year, and in Saint-Germain, Paris, this September. Each store features a unique interior design tailored to its city, establishing its own character. The Osaka store utilizes three different carpet colors—gray and pink—along with marble textures to define the floor space. Pure aluminum is used to reflect each product, creating an image of industrial elegance.

Chairman Mikael Schiller commented, "The silhouette of buildings rising in a landscape like the sci-fi film 'Blade Runner,' and Osaka's city of endless neon signs, perfectly blend with the store's location and design concept." He expressed confidence in the completion of the new flagship shop.

This special space, created by Acne Studios, offers a sense of evolving creativity, much like an artist's studio. The "collaboration" between Acne and the city of Osaka is poised to be one of the highlights of this flagship store.
