Acne Studios Unveils Immersive Three-Story Flagship in Tokyo
Summary Swedish fashion houseAcne Studioshas officially opened the doors to its impressive new three-story flagship store inTokyo's sophisticated Aoyama district. This expansive retail space, a collaboration between Acne Studios' creative director Jonny Johansson and Stockholm-based architecture studio Halleroed, is designed to be more than just a store; it's an immersive experience deeply inspired by Tokyo's compact, layered urban fabric and the brand's long-standing affinity for Japan. The new Aoyama location, which moved directly opposite the iconic Prada Aoyama flagship, transforms the shopping experience into a journey of tactile and visual contrasts. Visitors traverse through a series of thoughtfully designed spaces that reflect Acne Studios' unique blend of brutalist aesthetics and refined minimalism. The interior features the brand's signature pink granite, used for walls, flooring, and select furnishings, creating a distinctive backdrop.

Max Lamb designed the seating for the flagship, utilizing woven textiles that are combined with a high-gloss pink patent leather, contrasting a blend of softness and shine. Benoit Lalloz did the custom lighting that gives the store its rhythmic illumination and atmosphere throughout the space, while British artist Daniel Silver delivers expressive mannequins through sculpture. Further boosting the store's artistic vibe, Jonny Johansson collaborated with Japanese ceramicist Takuro Kuwata. Kuwata's color-infused ceramic objects are displayed within the store, and he has also created a limited-edition capsule collection of reinterpreted Acne Studios pieces, including denim, available exclusively at the Aoyama flagship to celebrate the opening. This collaboration underscores Acne Studios' commitment to recontextualization and artistic dialogue. The three-story flagship will house Acne Studios' full men's and women's apparel, accessories, bags, shoes, and eyewear collections. This strategic opening reinforces Tokyo as a key global market for the brand, offering a unique physical manifestation of its creative vision.

New 'The Fantastic Four: First Steps' Warns the Arrival of Galactus
Summary The highly anticipated debut ofMarvel's First Family inThe Fantastic Four: First Stepsjust got a whole lot more Studioshas released a new, chilling clip from the film, officially titled 'I Herald Galactus,' which features the dramatic arrival of the Silver Surfer (played byJulia Garner) on Earth and her ominous declaration about the imminent threat of Galactus (voiced by Ralph Ineson). The clip immediately cuts to the otherworldly sight of the Silver Surfer descending onto Earth, her sleek form cutting through the atmosphere. With a metallic, haunting tone in her voice, she delivers the spine-chilling line that sets the stage for the film's cosmic stakes: 'Your planet is now marked for death.' This dire warning leaves no ambiguity about Earth's fate, firmly establishing Galactus as a planet-devouring force of nature rather than a conventional villain. The clip underscores that Galactus is a 'universal force, as essential as the stars,' framing his destruction as a necessary part of the cosmic order. Set against the vibrant backdrop of a 1960s-inspired, retro-futuristic world, the clip provides a clear indication of the immense power and presence of the Silver Surfer, hinting at the difficult moral quandaries she faces as Galactus's enigmatic herald. While the 'Devourer of Worlds' himself is not fully revealed in this specific clip, his looming threat is palpable, emphasized by the Surfer's chilling pronouncement. This direct introduction of the cosmic threat to Reed Richards (Pedro Pascal), Sue Storm (Vanessa Kirby), Johnny Storm (Joseph Quinn), and Ben Grimm (Ebon Moss-Bachrach) underscores the critical role the Fantastic Four will play in defending their world. The film is set to hit theaters on July 25, 2025.
