Luxury fashion house with 60+ stores across major global markets
Acne Studios operates a vertically integrated luxury retail business across 1,000+ employees and 60+ owned stores worldwide, anchored by Microsoft Dynamics 365 (Finance, Operations) and Centric PLM for supply-chain and inventory control. The hiring mix is overwhelmingly sales-focused (54% of active roles), reflecting a retail-first operating model; design, product, and engineering account for under 15% combined. Active projects cluster around store performance optimization, off-price channel management, and allocation timing—signals of margin pressure in a multi-currency, multi-geography wholesale + DTC portfolio.
Acne Studios is a Stockholm-headquartered luxury fashion house founded by Creative Director Jonny Johansson, operating across ready-to-wear, furniture, books, and exhibitions. The company maintains flagship and seasonal stores in 8+ major cities (Stockholm, Paris, Milan, London, New York, Los Angeles, Seoul, Tokyo, Beijing) and operates regional offices in Paris, Empoli, New York, Shanghai, and Tokyo. Revenue flows through owned retail, wholesale partnerships, and an outlet presence (Serravalle). The organization has achieved double-digit growth historically and holds Fair Wear Foundation Leader certification for six consecutive years; it joined Fédération de la Haute Couture et de la Mode in 2013. Current operational priorities include store-level sales performance, supply-chain efficiency, and geographic portfolio balance across 11+ hiring countries.
