Spring & Summer Style with AKRIS
Color, line, and space.
For Akris Spring 2026, purity is a universe, not a limit. Inspired by the abstract forms of Leon Polk Smith, Albert Kriemler reimagines essence, allowing structure to emerge through the properties of the fabric — the principles and pulse of everything he creates.
The collection becomes a space where structure, intuition, and sensuality coexist. Draped fringe knits echo Smith’s curvilinear lines; our signature Trapezoid embroidery evolves into presence — architectural yet fluid. Every piece is shaped from fabric with craftsmanship and the precision of Swiss design, allowing movement to feel both liberated and intentional.
There is a dynamic tension in the contrasts: sheer embroidered overlays juxtaposed with pragmatic separates like crisp denims and summer leather. The Alice bag, in horsehair and satin, glows in bursts of sun, lapis blue, and orange — a flash of color that connects art and life.
Akris Spring 2026 is a dialogue of color and line — art, architecture, freedom and form. It is a reminder that in simplicity, there is infinite expression.

Drop Stitch – an Akris in-house development.
The Drop Stitch (Drape Fringe Knit) is an in-house fabric development by the Akris knitwear team. The yarn is knitted like a chain – a knitting technique in which stitches are intentionally allowed to fall off the needle (or unravel down a few rows), forming open loops. It is a special silk knit that offers a luminous glow and feels ultra-light, airy, and almost intangible.
