Stylee Fridays: Acne Paper Issue 7
- story THE FADER
We often refer to the FADER editorial office as “The Fish Bowl” mostly because, aside from our work stations and our physical bodies, there isn’t really space for much else. We have, however, been very diligent in the style department about saving a lil room for our Acne Paper magazines (five out of the seven published sit safely on the shelves). Acne Paper is a bi-annual title made by Swedish denim collective Acne Jeans. We like to save and peruse the issues because as well as stunning fashion editorials, the stories in there are awesomely unexpected and thought-provoking. The newest issue, for example, is all about tradition and features an interview with the head of the guild of English Butlers, a tête-à-tête with Noam Chomsky and an intensely gut-wrenching essay on love and relationships by Nan Goldin where she declares “What we call falling madly in love with someone is not so much evidence of how deeply we care for our love, but more the relief that we’re not alone anymore.” Crumbs! One of our favorite supermodels from the late ’90s, Guinevere, also happens to be on the cover.
Acne Paper editor-in-chief Thomas Persson, who splits his time between Paris and Stockholm, was in New York this week for the launch of issue #7. We managed to catch up with him before yesterday’s Acne Paper launch soirée at the New York library.
