Akris. Fashion. selbstverständlich

Only a few fashion houses worldwide know a 100-year family tradition. Akris is the only Swiss fashion company present at Paris Fashion Week and stands out with clear lines, tangible fabric innovations and surprising themes. Akris cultivates a culture of sensual minimalism. The timelessly modern designs thrive on Creative Director Albert Kriemler's dialogue with art and architecture, with photographers and filmmakers. Thanks to his distinctive sense for materials, cut and color, even extraordinary creations seem quite "natural".

The exhibition presents the inspirational worlds of the international St. Gallen fashion house and provides insight into the sophisticated craft or technical processes behind the collections.
