Acne Paper, Golden. Issue 20, S/S 2025Purchase Issue 20
Acne Paper’s twentieth-anniversary edition, Golden, is not only a celebration of our editorial journey from 2005 to 2025, but more symbolically a reflection on a creative project that, at least for us, is worth its weight in gold. In this issue’s collection of fashion stories, essays, interviews and art portfolios, we invite you to explore our golden theme, a subject that has both shaped and reflected humanity for millennia.
In a time when uncertainty looms and shadows stretch long, we have chosen to surround ourselves with the warmth of hope. The stories within these pages celebrate a brightness that reaches across history and throughout the world – from the mysteries of ancient civilisations to the most imaginative artistic creativity of today.
Gold, both the colour and the material, has served as our guide – a thread weaving through our written and visual editorials, be they humorous or poetic, personal or academic, godlike or very human.
The cover sets the tone: Actress and model Raya Martigny photographed by Szilveszter Makó. Each contributor to this issue, whether a rising star or an established master, has poured their vision into this shared theme, creating a mosaic of inspiration that speaks about transformative power.
Highlights include fashion stories by Sarah Moon and Patti Wilson, Leslie Zhang and Audrey Hu, Sharna Osborne and Robbie Spencer, Paul Kooiker and Beat Bolliger, Vidar Logi and Edda Gudmundsdottir, Julia Hetta and Emman, Rafael Pavarotti and George Krakowiak, Julien Martinez Leclerc and Katie Burnett, Szilveszter Makó and Lisa Jarvis.
