Akris

Fashion designer Albert Kriemler once said of taking over his family's business--a conservative Swiss clothing company descended from his grandmother's apron-making operation--"My big ambition was to get into New York's Bergdorf Goodman store." Done. Ditto Neiman Marcus, Saks, a flagship location of his own in New York and runway shows from Paris to Milan. Clients for Kriemler's understated but increasingly visible, vintage-inspired work include Susan Sarandon, Brooke Shields, Condoleezza Rice and Princess Caroline of Monaco. This lavish monograph, filled with color and black-and-white photographs by the infamous fashion photographer, Steven Klein, tracks Kriemler's career from 1980, when he joined Akris at age 20, to the designer's most recent collections.Kriemler, Albert is the author of 'Akris ', published 2007 under ISBN 9783905770230 and ISBN 3905770237.
