These are the most fashionable outdoor-friendly jackets you'll ever own
Two of Sweden’s most iconic companies, Acne Studios and Fjällräven, have collaborated on a unisex collection, which marries function and fashion.
This collaboration is the first time Fjällräven has ever allowed another brand to pay homage to its classic pieces, such as the Expedition Down jacket and the Kånken backpack. “We were honoured when Acne Studios approached us, and curious too, because we’ve never done anything like this before. The result is a unique collection that embodies the timeless functionality of Fjällräven and the artistic approach of Acne Studios while creating something completely new” said Henrik Andersson, head of innovation and design at Fjällräven.
“I grew up with Fjällräven. If you are Swedish, you have a very specific relationship with the brand. I’m very proud that it’s Swedish, and wanted to share our love for Fjällräven with the world,” added Jonny Johansson, creative director of Acne Studios.
To create the collection, Johansson carefully selected each piece and added new details such as oversized pockets, reflective patches and fake fur trims. The legendary Kånken backpack has also been reinvented in three new styles including a mini clutch and a version that converts into a messenger bag.
The collection launches worldwide on September 6, in Acne Studios stores and at acnestudios.com, and will be available until the end of the year.
