New York: Where to Shop: Fashion & Accessories: Acne Studio
Acne Studio
For its first boutique in the U.S., Swedish cult label Acne Studio settled on a gorgeous space on SoHo’s Greene Street (further up, don’t miss Kirna-ZabĂȘte, Kiki de Montparnasse, Alessi, By New York and, fellow newcomer Kisan). The soaring, 1,000 square-foot boutique, with its white pressed-tin ceiling, glass installation covering one wall and black and brownâcheckered wooden floors, provides the perfect backdrop for the hip basics on sale here. Expect ribbed wool dresses, cropped knit cardigans, slinky blouses, designer tees and, of course, a large variety of the brand’s famous jeans in ultra-soft denim and a variety of colors.
