There are very few fashion houses anywhere in the world that can boast 100 years of family tradition. Akris is the only Swiss brand present at Paris Fashion Week, standing out with clean lines, tangible innovations in fabrics, and surprising themes. Akris upholds a culture of sensual minimalism. The timelessly modern designs thrive on creative director Albert Kriemler’s dialogue with art and architecture, with designers and filmmakers. Thanks to his grand sense for materials, cut and color, even daring creations seem quite “selbstverständlich” (effortless). The exhibition explores the inspirations of the international St. Gallen fashion house while providing insight into the sophisticated craftsmanship or technical processes behind the collections.
