Dear Shaded Viewers,
Tonight was the launch of Snowdon Blue which is the first book published by Acne Paper. Snowdon Blue features 61 portraits of stars wearing a classic blue shirt. Lord Snowdon kept a stack of his own blue shirts and would ask his subjects to put one on or…to bring a blue shirt. Manola Blahnik wore Lord Snowdon's pajamas, imagine how he felt wearing them. Acne as a brand is about blue. Lord Snowdon's favorite color is blue. The link was always there.
The book inspired a collection of 8 limited edition blue shirts. Lord Snowdon's youngest daughter-Frances von Hofmannsthal approached Johansson to work on the book project. She is the keeper of Lord Snowdon's archives.Lord Snowdon's subjects are Royals, actors and pop stars as well as playwrights.
