Direct from the Swedish creative super-group, issue 5 of ACNE PAPER chews the lean sinew of elegance. It’s hard to argue with a publication so generous. It sizes an ample 40×30 cm and 122 pages worth of features that don’t cut corners. In between the satisfying word count, the photography is so devastatingly beautiful you’ll forget you’re reading a magazine that cost you as much as your lunch.
Hubert De Billy and Edouard Cossy will show you the way to contentment via a flute of Pol Roger Champagne. Brian Greene lures your eye up to the simple economy of our galaxy. And Camille Bidault-Waddington teases Jarvis Cocker for wearing similar colours to her.
ACNE PAPER issue 5 can be summed up in Paulo Melim Andersson’s words: “Elegance is hybrid. It’s an orchid that looks different every time. An undefined nimbus. It’s like the stars. You dream of them, but you will never get there.” – p.72
No doubt ACNE PAPER will give you plenty to dream about.
