Akris

Elegant fashion from Switzerland

Akris – the name is made up of the initials of the founder Alice Kriemler-Schoch. In 1922 she decided to found the label and thereby laid the foundation for today's global success, which is crowned with real innovations. The Swiss fashion company, headquartered in St. Gallen, has always been in family hands. As early as the 1950s, the luxury label expanded into Europe under the leadership of Max Kriemler, son of Alice Kriemler-Schoch, and his wife. Her grandson Albert Kriemler has been Akris's chief designer since 1980. Together with his brother Peter Kriemler, who is responsible for finances and production, the ambitious businessman opened up the USA with the straightforward designs and the perfectly formed elegance of the collections. The label initially placed itself in the New York luxury department store Bergdorf Goodman and a short time later opened its first shop in Boston. Other stores followed around the world.

The double-face technique with the simple elegance of Akris

Akris is known for its exquisite selection of materials. Light fabrics such as cashmere and silk play a central role in the simple and timeless collections. From the very beginning, these have been characterized by a simple sophistication and an elegant simplicity that is appreciated by Princess Charlène of Monaco and actress Julia Roberts, among others. In addition to gorgeous dresses that showcase the female silhouette in a unique way, there is also space for everyday pieces such as skirts, jackets and shirts. These can be stylishly combined with the label's shaping trousers. However, the absolute trademark of Akris is the double-face look. The fabrics are sewn invisibly so that the inside can be worn out. Unlike many well-known luxury labels, Akris focuses on the production of fashion, which is why you can only find selected clothing from the brand in Buddy&Selly's designer second-hand online shop. Another special feature: The company produces exclusively in Switzerland and uses regional textiles. Akris Punto followed in 1996 as a modern sideline for the younger target group.
