Akris
Akris is a luxury brand from Switzerland that fits the bill with
its trendy, fashionable offerings. In 1922, Alice Kriemler-Schoch
founded the company that is today an international success. For a
company that started by making aprons, Akris has certainly come a
long way, and fashion blue bloods such as Givenchy and Ted Lapidus
have even contracted the company to produce clothes for them in the
past. If you’re looking for a dress for a casual stroll in
the park, or a dazzling gown for a dinner event, Akris has the
design for you, with dresses that exude youthfulness and
femininity. Each dress is a study of style and classic taste. In
the hands of the very capable designers at Akris, a simple sun
dress could look like something out of a high end fashion magazine
spread. Setting itself apart from other fashion giants, Akris is a
brand that is fully committed to producing fashion apparels,
focusing all its resources and energy into expanding their fashion
line. You will not find fragrances, cosmetics and handbags by Akris
because all designers employed by the company are put to work
designing only dresses, tops, skirts and other clothing.
The company relies very little on advertising, and good reviews are
spread by word of mouth. The fact that the brand is still one of
the top selling brands in department stores like Bergdorf Goodman
and Neiman Marcus despite this minimal amount of commercialization
is a testament to Akris’s well-deserved popularity.
