Raven High-Rise Denim Shorts

The man behind the minimalist brand Acne Studios (Ambition to Create Novel Expressions) is Johnny Johansson. And did you know he started the label in 1997, initially specialising in jeans? So it should come as no surprise to bonafide fans that his latest collection includes some denim, the rigid Raven shorts included. Shaped to a high-rise silhouette, they sign off with a branded patch at the back – which, let’s face it, is the only seal of approval we need.
