akris

It's hard not to fall for Akris' geometric Spring line. It's pretty, it's tough, it's modern, and it's thoughtful. My on;y complaint was that it's too white, but that doesn't take anything away from the collection for me. it just makes the cloths that much more impossible for me.

PARIS, October 4, 2006 – In a switch from the typical seating arrangements, buyers rather than editors sat at the head of Akris' runway, with the best views in the house...Akris has become a quiet retail powerhouse on the strength of this designer's subtle and approachable interpretations of runway developments...In a city where the grand gesture rules, this label risks being overlooked. That's why Kriemler and co. invited show-goers to Akris' St. Gallen, Switzerland, headquarters for a quick tour of the brand's archives at a special exhibition last weekend. By all accounts, the Alpine town has an illustrious past as a center for textiles. But today Kriemler looked straight ahead with the show's modern, geometric embroideries. – Nicole Phelps style.com.
