This year, Akris put out "Akris—A Century
in Fa shion Selbst verständlich," a 162-pa ge
book that looks at the brand's values and the
critical moments in its histor y. It was edited
by A lber t and Peter K riemler and includes
contributions from fa shion journa lists like
Nicole Phelps and Jessica Iredale. K riemler
sees it as a way to articulate the brand's history
and evolution and celebrate its Swiss heritage.
At its core, Akris is a team e‡ort and Kriemler
celebrates ever yone t hat br i n gs it to l i fe.
"Fashion is never a solo love a‡air. A collection
is always a collective achievement ," he says.
"Without my pat ternmakers, tailors, cut ters,
knitters, or bagmakers—our masters as I like
to call them—a collection would remain theo-
retical, wishful thinking only."
