AKRIS

Founded in 1922 in St. Gallen, Switzerland, by Alice Kriemler-Schoch, Akris initially specialized in aprons. Alice soon elevated the local fashion scene using regional fabrics, especially embroidery. The one responsible for the rebranding was her son Max, who lead Akris expansion into ready-to-wear and collaborated with renowned Parisian fashion houses, including like Ted Lapidus and Givenchy.
