If there is a fashion house rooted equally in textile and place, it is Akris in St.Gallen, the city of embroidery. For 100 years, the only Swiss fashion house to be a member of the Fédération de la Haute Couture et de la Mode has cherished and cultivated its geographical origins. The exhibition “Akris: St.Gallen, selbstverständlich” reveals how intertwined the firm’s distinctive signature is with the city in which it is located; it gives an insight into the close relationship between the fashion house and St.Gallen’s textile industry and presents those collections that embody the zeitgeist.
