Light and nuanced, the Akris Pre-Fall 2023 collection proposes a fresh exploration of Akris’ essential code: selbstverständlich.

It is the German expression that for Creative Director Albert Kriemler best encapsulates the Akris spirit; clothing that is natural and self-evident, embodying the effortless modernity that defines a woman’s presence and enhances her charisma. “selbstverständlich does not rely on the visual impression that a garment makes. It is much more personal and emotive. I want the woman to be empowered without the clothing being loud. It is style over fashion in its timelessness,” Albert Kriemler states.

Case in point: mix-and-match ensembles, nonchalant wide-leg pants, and soft fabrics like cashmere and silk showcase the enduring appeal of clothes that will stand the test of time. Sleek minimalism is evoked via semi-transparent and ultra-light cotton and organza, imbuing high-summer staples with ease. When it comes to forever pieces, cool wool is having a moment this season, lending its soft lightness to tailored suits.

Prints are bold for daytime introducing head-to-toe ensembles tied together via hypnotic tweed check prints creating an understated approach to today’s moment and the legacy that has defined this house for 100 years.
