Akris Spring Summer 25 Collection

Albert Kriemler unveils the latest from the Swiss fashion house at Paris Fashion Week.

“Grace is not something close to the surface, it comes from inside. It is a gesture, an expression, an emotion. A kind of light, something radiant, and honest. When I collaborated with choreographer John Neumeier earlier this year on the costumes for his final ballet, Epilogue, the hues of artist Piero della Francesca became our inspiration,” says Albert Kriemler.

“His subdued, sublime colors sparked my fascination with the Early Renaissance and Mantua, Italy, a 15th-century cultural nucleus. It was there that I found myself in a room painted in fresco — full of light and life: Andrea Mantegna’s Camera degli Sposi. Mantegna’s use of light and shade mesmerized me. Thinking about his work, you do not think about beauty, you think about grace. Grace is not something close to the surface, it comes from inside. I wanted to capture this in sheer volumes for a collection in an airy, vaulted space full of luminous light.”
