Akris Costumes for the Hamburg Ballet On June 30th, 2024, the Hamburg Ballett premiered John Neumeier’s 173rd work "Epilogue," with costumes by Akris Creative Director Albert Kriemler. This oeuvre marks Neumeier's farewell after 51 years as artistic director and chief choreographer. "For me it remains fascinating to design modern clothes for dancers with the utmost functionality to move. To see them in real clothes – not costumes” – Albert Kriemler. "Epilogue" is an intimate ballet inspired by the music of Richard Strauss, Franz Schubert, and Simon & Garfunkel, exploring themes of life's journey, the passage of time, and solitude. The ballet opened with Strauss's "Frühling," where the joy of life was mirrored in Kriemler's red techno-mesh dress worn by Lithuanian soprano Asmik Grigorian. The flowing lemon and butter-yellow crêpe georgette pants for the dancers captured the essence of light and exhilaration. For Simon & Garfunkel’s "The Sound of Silence," Kriemler designed greige men's suits reminiscent of 1940s Film Noir, evoking the piece’s contemplation on modern society's loneliness. Schubert’s piano sonatas were interpreted through a light, structured net dress in chai for the first soloist, Ida Praetorius, reflecting the poetry and subtlety of the music.

AKRIS SUMMER/PRE-FALL 2024 The collection is Albert Kriemler’s creative epilogue to a spring inspired by the oeuvre of Wiener Werkstätte artist Felice Lizzi Rix-Ueno. Birds, stars, and tassels were Lizzi’s preferred motifs – everything that is light, delicate, and floats inhabits her folkloristic, yet modern universe. Case in point, these seasonal prints, the Rooster and Kasuri Birds, illustrate the vibrant simplicity that pervades the collection.

Every three years, the city of St. Gallen in Eastern Switzerland celebrates its «Kinderfest» [children's festival]. For 200 years, the festival has been firmly anchored in the culture of St. Gallen. Teachers, parents, St. Gallen residents, and children – the festival brings everyone together for a day to remind us why St. Gallen has always been and still is the Swiss textile city. Akris was dressing the «Oberstufe West» school this year. Girls and boys could choose between a T-shirt with a skirt and a shirt with shorts. The T-shirts and shirts are made of printed cotton poplin fabric from the Akris Punto Spring/Summer 2021 collection. Akris has incorporated the wishes of the teenagers so that they feel cool, comfortable, and confident on this day. Sustainability is a core value at Akris, and all clothing was made by our employees in our ateliers. A large part of the clothing was also made from existing fabrics.  #Akris #Kinderfest #StGallen #Switzerland

At Akris, every detail tells a story. For our Spring 2024 Fashion Show at #ParisFashionWeek, we crafted a stunning backdrop adorned with vibrant paper poppies, each meticulously handmade by Aurélie Cerasa and her team. But the journey of these beautiful poppies didn't end on the runway. As the collection hit our stores six months later, we repurposed these intricate paper flowers to bring the same runway magic to the boutique windows of our 18 boutiques worldwide and events. Each window became a reflection to our commitment to sustainability and creativity, offering our customers a glimpse into the artistry that defines our brand. #Akris #AkrisSpring24
