Albert Kriemler (AKRIS)

Fashion designer

The Swiss Con­fed­er­a­tion ho­n­ours Al­bert Kriem­ler not only for his cre­ativ­ity and the con­stant per­fect­ing of the form, the cut and the ma­te­ri­als of his col­lec­tions but also for the buildup and the emer­gence of a fash­ion com­pany that has no equal in Switzer­land and abroad. Founded in 1922 as a apron fac­tory by Al­bert Kriem­ler's grand­mother, AKRIS be­came a cou­ture house under the di­rec­tion of his fa­ther Max, who in turn handed over the reins to Al­bert and his brother Peter in 1987. Al­bert Kriem­ler is the chief de­signer and is re­spon­si­ble for cre­ation and mar­ket­ing while Peter Kriem­ler heads the pro­duc­tion and man­age­ment. This em­bod­ies the core of the house's suc­cess: team­work, tra­di­tion and a com­mon his­tory - all dri­ven by in­no­va­tion.
