Kylie's ability to stay relevant in a fast-paced industry has been truly commendable.

Kylie is stepping into the world of high fashion this time around as the spokesperson for Acne Studios Fall/Winter 2023 denim collection. Shot by the talented Carlijn Jacobs, the campaign showcases Jenner in a way that fans haven't often seen before.

The campaign features Kylie "transformed, stripped back and undone" wearing oversized silhouettes that are part of Acne's jeans collection, known for its distressed and dirty washes.

The mood of the campaign is raw and evokes a sense of nostalgia for the brand's heritage. Acne Studios, under the creative vision of Jonny Johansson, has always celebrated denim. Johansson once commented that denim seemed to her as a rebellious yet practical material that she always found appealing. She viewed denim as the central piece around which everything else in one's wardrobe revolved.
