There are only a handful of fashion brands that can credit 100 years of pure family and cultural tradition as the backbone of their success. Akris is most certainly one of them.
The brand was founded in 1922 by Alice Kriemler-Schoch in the small Swiss city of St. Gallen. Since then, it has been moving from strength to strength throughout the past century. Having began as an apron atelier for women, Akris has evolved past its polka-dot apron days to an eponymous Swiss brand adored by empowered women all over the world- with Kriemler-Schoch's grandson at the forefront: Creative Director, Albert Kriemler. It's now worn by powerhouse clients ranging from Angelina Jolie to Amal Clooney, who are often spotted in Akris' strong cuts and textiles, as are many other erudite women.
