the week in news: 12.07.10

I haven't done a news post in a while because I could never find more than two seemingly important events happening on the same week enough to fill some blog space. Thankfully, this week was different. We had a store opening, an editor turned model and my generation's reality show wrap-up. Take a look.

I'm off.

Acne Studio opening in London

We have been waiting for this moment for years —Acne is opening their first London store on July 15th! Even though their super cool new spaces in Harrods and Liberty's are pretty amazing there is nothing like a whole space of black and white checked floors and sky-high jeans shelves. The brand new London Acne Studio (they don't call them shops) will dwell inside number 13 of the very fashion-oriented Dover Street, off Piccadilly. The space will host all Acne concepts, from the mainline collection to the funkier Pop, the essential Denim and Miniature.
I haven't personally walked pass the store address yet but I had a look at it on Google maps and it looks like a promising fit for the Swedish brand.
I assume we can expect a very stylish opening party with Acne-d up celebrities like (maybe) Kylie Minogue, Lilly Allen and the ever-stylish Yasmin Sewell. Apart, of course, from all the brand's Swedish creative team and the genius minds behind the Acne Paper.

I'm not too sure about what season(s) the new Acne Studio will have the first few days, being in the middle of July and all. Most likely the Pre-Fall collection and, hopefully, some remains on the summer one. In any case, I had a look at the SS10 items on sale. There is a lot of amazing stuff and sockingly good prices. Below you can see my favourites —essentially, anything fringed, dyed, or any of the stunning silk pieces including Swarovsky crystals. Click here to go to their website.

I'm off.
