Inspiration Station: The Acne Showroom
By Jenny Bahn
Every designer has in their arsenal a few key tools: an inherent aesthetic, a unique point of view, and an openness to global inspiration. They travel, people-watch, scan archives, and read books… anything to inspire the next collection. The designer’s showroom is often a reflection of this, filled with knick-knacks, furniture, yes, even rugs that represent the brand. Last week, while checking out the new SS13 collection at Acne’s NY showroom, I thumbed through their impressive library of books. It may take a bit of time and cash to acquire, but here’s a shortlist of books that are as cool as the brand. I linked some of the these books to eBay so you can begin stocking your cool library sooner than later…
