The Akris Fall 2025 collection explores the world of blue, a color that encapsulates tranquility in nature and intensity in art. This season, designer Albert Kriemler dives in the emotional and visual depths of blue, using it to convey feelings of gravity and sensory experiences. The collection is themed around the mystical ‘blue hour’, that fleeting moment when day dips into the night, symbolizing a time of change and the merging of day into night.
FALL WINTER 2025 COLLECTIONS
Akris reshapes daily attire with a harmonious mix of structure and movement. The collection features garments like tailored pants enhanced with flowing panels and skirts that are half-pleated, capturing a dynamic balance between calm and spontaneous energy, reflecting the essence of the blue hour. This interplay is crafted with precision, with designs that transition from day to night, suggesting a wardrobe that caters to a modern lifestyle.
The collection’s outerwear stands out, with pieces that mark a transition in time and the wearer’s presence. Sequin-drenched overcoats, feather-trimmed jackets, and the reinvented short Duo trench in ottoman silk, express Kriemler’s vision of clothing as a medium of expression, garments that convey strength for the uncompromising woman.
Textures in the collection merge subtly, reflecting the gentle shifts of the twilight hours. Knitted wool hoodies and brushed cashmere capes mimic the texture of shearling, adding a layer of tactile illusion. These soft, enveloping forms paired with the structural rigidity of plaid wool and plush cords offer a comforting yet refined aesthetic, perfectly suited for the shifting energies from dusk to dawn.
The art of Alyson Shotz, an American artist renowned for her explorations of space and light through sculpture, intertwines with Kriemler’s fabric choices. The cyanotype technique, historically used for architectural blueprints, finds a new expression in the collection. Shotz’s deep blue impressions on fabric reflect the architectural precision and scientific curiosity that are hallmarks of Akris.
Akris Fall 2025 seizes a transformative moment, expressed through a spectrum of blue that ranges from tranquil to vivid. The collection, featuring everything from sleek, flowing dresses to bold trench coats, encapsulates the fleeting nature of time as it transitions from the warm light of day to the shadows of night. This season, Kriemler chose the atmospheric Collège des Bernardins as the venue, illuminating its grand Gothic arches with an ethereal blue light that enhanced the thematic depth of the presentation. With this collection, Akris clothes the moment, embracing the transient beauty of the blue hour.
