TAKE TWO:<\/strong> Acne Studios<\/a> celebrated the relaunch of its Acne Paper magazine with a cocktail party and exhibition in Paris showcasing the release of a coffee table book compiling the best of its previous issues.<\/p>\n

The Swedish label\u2019s creative director Jonny Johansson and Thomas Persson, editor in chief of Acne Paper, greeted guests at the brand\u2019s future store on Rue Saint-Honor\u00e9 during Paris Fashion Week<\/a> for men\u2019s wear.<\/p>\n

On the ground floor was an exhibition by South African photographer Christopher Smith, who recreated old covers in the form of self-portraits. On the upper floor, archive issues of the biannual publication, which originally ran from 2005 to 2014, were laid out in display cases, alongside copies of the Acne Paper Book for browsing.<\/p>\n

The 568-page tome includes images by the likes of David Bailey, Saul Leiter, Sarah Moon, Jamie Hawkesworth and Viviane Sassen. The exhibition will remain open until July 10, when the store will close for renovations.<\/p>\n

Despite the dire state of the publishing industry, Johansson still believes in print.<\/p>\n

\u201cThere\u2019s some aspects of digital that I think are amazing: the directness, the easiness of people creating their own material. You can do your own magazine in your bedroom,\u201d he said, drawing a musical analogy. \u201cBut at the same time, the craft, the songs that we play \u2013 what\u2019s wrong with Chet Baker, just because you have Drake?\u201d<\/p>\n

Still, the magazine is evolving with the times, Persson said. \u201cThe world is changing every day. The old paper didn\u2019t have any kind of political point of view. It was just a celebration of art and beauty and life,\u201d he said.<\/p>\n

\u201cWhereas now, it\u2019s really important, I think, if you have a platform like we do, to try to spread a good message in terms of injustices and the environment, and all of those things that are very important. So it\u2019s stronger, it\u2019s more political, but still, I think the spirit of the old Acne Paper is still very much there,\u201d he added.<\/p>\n
