Exploring the Poetry of Fabric: Akris Spring-Summer 2025
Akris S/S 2025: A symphony of form and texture, blending fluidity and pragmatism with diaphanous layers, earthy raffia, and elegant craftsmanship.
A testament to the poetic power of craftsmanship, the latest collection by Akris is a symphony of form and texture. The notion of "carving shape from cloth" is evident in every detail, from the spiraled and tiered hatband to the flowing lines of ribbon and the bubble-hem skirts. Tailoring is both wrapped and creased, creating a sense of effortless movement, while trapezoids emerge organically from the fabric itself, highlighting the artistry of hand-crafted detail.
The collection is defined by a diaphanous nature, with tulle overlays adding layers of delicate transparency, reminiscent of a fresco. It seamlessly blends the fluid and the pragmatic, elongated dresses grounded by trenches and parkas for a sense of protection and sleek outdoor elegance. Linen-blend, cotton, and silk poplin, coated with resin for water resistance, create a lightness and movement that reflects a woman in action. Raffia, the fabric of the moment, plays a central role, bringing a natural touch of elegance and fluidity. Its texture, reminiscent of Akris's signature horsehair fabric, gives the impression of being carved in bas-relief. The Italian Anemone, a symbol of spontaneity and beauty, serves as a constant reminder of the collection's organic and vibrant essence.
The Spring-Summer 2025 collection is a masterful blend of craftsmanship and creativity, reflecting a deep appreciation for both traditional techniques and modern innovation. From the delicate textures to the bold silhouettes, each piece speaks to the power of human touch and the timeless beauty of nature.
