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.
