Acne Studios & Fjällräven Update the Cult Backpack

In a timely marriage of two Swedish powerhouse brands, designer Acne Studios and outerwear line Fjällräven have teamed up for an exclusive collection of jackets and bags. Just in time for back to school!

The resulting collection is a perfect blending of Fjallraven’s functionality with Acne’s penchant for the cutting edge. Updating seminal pieces, like the Expedition Down jacket and Kånken backpack, the line is as practical as it is visually appealing. One backpack can be converted to a messenger bag, and embellishments like fur trims are added to the utilitarian jacket. Overall, the collection is a tribute to everything right about Swedish design.

The Acne Studios Fjällräven collaboration will be available worldwide on September 6th. Check out some campaign images below.

Alberto Guardiani Looks to Talent of Tomorrow in New Initiatives

In the spirit of shoemaker Alberto Guardiani’s own bold designs, the Italian brand has partnered with Central Saint Martins’ Amanda Montenovo on limited edition cut-out heel, contrasting color styles for the young designer’s thesis collection. The ’70s-inspired shoes follow a previous team-up with Milan’s infamous Marangoni Institute in which Alberto Guardiani charged media students to devise real-world business briefs to story-tell fashion projects across digital and offline channels. Both initiatives actualize the footwear brand’s emphasis on ideation and fashion’s next wave of talent.
