Akris was known for their elegant silhouettes and sophisticated textiles. They also used unique embroidery.
The designer Albert Kriemler, who has is the grandson of Akris founder, Alice Kriemler Schoch has shown his ability to dress women in the most eloquent and sensible way, brilliantly highlighting the women’s form.
The red floral scenery, accompanied by a percussion group (including a piano player, a flute player and a drummer), set the mood for the show. It was a fantastical journey that blew us away.
Inspired by the late textile, wallpaper and craft designer, Felice “Lizzi” Rix-Ueno, after coming across her work at the MAK Museum of Applied Arts in Vienna, Kriemler chose to bring a spotlight to her artistry.
Akris Spring 2020 garments have a strong Rix-Ueno influence, with their bold prints and hand-painted designs.
We also saw models wearing monochromatic white ensembles. These included white embroidered jackets and skirts and white organza blazers. The metallics made their debut as well, with a peek-a-boo look. Spring 2024 is all about silver futuristic shades.
Unafraid of mixing prints, we found garments with straight or asymmetrical line, ideal for a wild safari, a night on the town, or even a trip to the art museum.
Akris’s use of silk fringe added a new dimension to their designs, attracting attention with the models wearing dresses, skirts, and even tops.
Taking a closer look at the construction of each garment, you can certainly see Akris’s attention to detail with their double face stitching, and luxurious use of high quality fabrics.
If anyone has mastered the art of elegance in the most delicate and intricate manner, it’s Akris who is on everyone’s radar for their prolific and boundary-breaking designs.
