The Swiss house Akris was founded in 1922 by Alice Kriemler-Schloch. His son, Max Kriemler took over the company, himself succeeded by his son, Albert Kriemler. Albert Kriemler, 62, is still in charge of the artistic direction of the brand. Albert is co-owner of Akris with his brother Peter. It was under the artistic direction of Albert Kriemler that Akris gained notoriety and the brand has been present at Paris Fashion Week since 2004.
Princess Charlene wore an outfit present on the catwalk but presented in beige. The brand celebrates its 100th anniversary this year. For the occasion, the collection was inspired by certain historic models. This outfit worn by Charlène is inspired by a 1991 collection.
“Thank you Albert for a wonderful evening and congratulations on 100 years of perfection”said Princess Charlene on Instagram, sharing a photo of her arrival at the event.
