Albert Kriemler, designer and creative director of Akris, said in the 100th anniversary book of the mark: "I like fashion to surprise. It's progress, it's energy, it's strength. During the preparation of the filming of our archival pieces (1978 to 1992) for the 100 year book, I knew right away that we had to work with them. They were new, unexpected and in perfect proportions for today. They made me think of something different to celebrate 100 years, something you wouldn't normally assume. Let's call it a restart, an incentive to pause, a point where everything can reappear or renew itself. A collection where past, present and future coexist. Backtracking to step into a new century.”
