Fashion career profile
Mattias Magnusson
Mattias Magnusson is a Swedish fashion executive and Chief Executive Officer of Acne Studios. He joined the Stockholm company in 2004 after graduating from the Stockholm School of Economics, first working in sales and operations. In 2011, co-founder and then-chairman Mikael Schiller asked him to take over as CEO. Magnusson’s operating leadership is distinct from the creative direction of co-founder Jonny Johansson and the chairmanship held by Schiller. During Magnusson’s tenure, Acne Studios established itself on the Paris fashion calendar and expanded its international retail and product presence while remaining a privately held fashion company. His page is linked to the house as executive leadership, not as a design role, and its career chronology now uses the documented 2011 CEO start rather than the earlier, unsupported 2009 date.
