ACNE’s Latest Collaboration Takes Aim At Transgender Consumers

You read that right. Swedish clothing brand Acne has launched a collection of shirts, aimed at transgender consumers. It’s not that much of a shock, when you think of it. Another Swedish brand, Nudie Jeans, has a collection of unisex jeans (E.g. the “Slim Kim”), and they are not the only denim brand that provides jeans that are wearable for both genders. This collection makes a point that the shirts are specifically designed with the transgender customer in mind, rather than saying the clothes happen to fit any gender, as the term “unisex” implies.
