In time for Frieze New York, Acne Studios deepens its creative dialogue with Philadelphia-based visual artist Jonathan Lyndon Chase through a new capsule collection and exhibition in the heart of SoHo.

From May 7–11, Acne Studios’ Greene Street location transformed into a temporary gallery space, showcasing a vibrant and intimate body of work by Chase. Known for their layered explorations of Black identity, queerness, and tenderness within domestic spaces, the artist presents soft sculptures, furniture, and paintings—many of which first appeared in the scenography of Acne Studios’ Spring/Summer 2025 womenswear show in Paris.

The collaboration now expands into a limited capsule collection titled Acne Studios Loves Jonathan Lyndon Chase, marking a tactile extension of the artist’s visual world. Chase’s expressive illustrations—figures often drawn from personal relationships—appear across ready-to-wear pieces and homeware. Highlights include reimagined Acne Studios '1981' jeans, T-shirts, cushions, and a blanket, rendered in fabrics that play with the illusion of denim.

The capsule, imbued with both emotional texture and artistic impulse, mirrors Chase’s unique ability to merge vulnerability with bold graphic expression. A playful reinterpretation of the Acne Studios bow motif also weaves through the collection. The Acne Studios Loves Jonathan Lyndon Chase collection is available exclusively at Acne Studios Greene Street in New York through mid-May and will be released globally in select stores and online at acnestudios.com in late June.
