Akris

What if volume doesn’t come from construction alone – but from the fabric itself? The Akris Spring 2026 collection explores a dialogue with Leon Polk Smith, where structure emerges through material, not excess. It reflects the core principle behind everything Creative Director Albert Kriemler creates: precision, clarity, and intention. Inspired by Smith’s geometric compositions, volume becomes graphic –almost architectural – rather than purely sculptural. "The high planes inspiration is one of the panels, it is red and blue. I felt it was inspiring for me and also a type of volume creator. I think I never had a volume seam treatment which was graphic." From building volume, to revealing it.

Akris Opens New Boutique in Hamburg   After 22 years, the house is moving to a new address on Neuer Wall, where around 350 square meters across two floors will showcase the latest collections of Akris, Akris punto, and Akris Accessories. Designed in 1979/80 by architect Peter P. Schweger, the building is considered a striking example of postmodern architecture and is now a listed landmark. The store reflects the architectural essence of Akris: clean lines, precision, and a modernist, refined design language that has long defined the house. Creative Director Albert Kriemler shares: “Hamburg has long held a special place for me — not least through nearly two decades of collaboration with the Hamburg Ballet and John Neumeier. It makes this new home, in a building of architectural significance for the city, all the more meaningful.” Akris Boutique Hamburg Neuer Wall 48 20354 Hamburg https://lnkd.in/eJUqzGMS #Akris #Hamburg

For the Akris Spring 2026 collection, Creative Director Albert Kriemler was inspired by Seven Involvements in One, a monumental folding screen by mid-century minimalist painter Leon Polk Smith, whose vibrant, geometric works helped define the Hard-Edge style of the 1950s and 60s.

Wedding season is approaching Rather than focusing on occasion wear alone, the conversation shifts to versatility: pieces that move effortlessly from ceremony to evening, from formal to personal expression. Flowing silhouettes, tailored separates, and refined accessories create a considered balance. Light silks, subtle textures, and understated prints offer ease without excess — allowing individuality to emerge naturally. What defines a modern wedding guest wardrobe is not statement alone, but intention: a quiet interplay of craftsmanship, comfort, and longevity.

Suede defines Spring 2026 with a quiet sense of structure — soft to the touch, yet precise in appearance. In the Ai bag, this material takes on a refined shape through color and form. Rendered in spring tones, the Ai bag becomes more than an accessory — it introduces tactility and depth, while maintaining a sense of lightness. A material — that moves seamlessly from day to evening, understated yet distinct. Find all suede and more spring looks here: https://lnkd.in/ef_bb-xp #Akris #AkrisSpring26

Polygon workmanship The Akris Spring 2026 collection draws a connection to Leon Polk Smith. „In 2023, I visited his exhibition at Haus Konstruktiv in Zurich, and there, commanding the room, was „Seven Involvements in One“. Vivid, precise, liberated – a free-standing object full of pulse and offbeat bravado.“ Creative Director Albert Kriemler The artwork consists of two components, the one with six distinct panels, independently titled Six Involvements in One; the other one with the stark red polygon is titled Correspondence Red White. It transports Smith's signature (corresponding two colors and line into one) in double-face workmanship.
