Akris has always been about women. Women who create, lead, 
inspire and dare. 
Women with Purpose is part of the foundation that Akris, as a fashion house, was built on. 
The family business of Akris continues to honor Women with Purpose who champion ambition, aspiration, advancement. 
Women with Purpose is a league founded in the spirit of celebrating women across the globe who dedicate their time, work and energy towards improving the lives of individuals, communities and industries, and make a change for a better.
Our #WomenWithPurpose create change and have the drive, and passion to see it through. They are committed to making a difference, to push for progress; they are the future of innovation. 
Women who wear confidence, make their own decisions and distill their look into an effortless appearance that speaks in a whisper, yet still commands a room.
Female leaders with a daring vision for change, who are working actively to create equality, inclusivity and diversity.
Women who simultaneously inspire, challenge and empower you, who act as a mentor to seed, breed and build confidence and therefore pave the way for others.
Founded by a woman in 1922, Akris began with Alice Kriemler-Schoch’s fondness for textiles and entrepreneurial vision.
Albert Kriemler has always had a deep understanding of the fact that strength and charisma can be enhanced and expressed through the way women dress. 
Founded by a visionary woman, Alice Kriemler-Schoch, Akris has been working with and for women with purpose since 1922.
He has devoted his professional life to making a woman feel her best self through what she wears – determined and at ease.
The fabrics he chooses, the sleek silhouettes he designs, the tailoring he crafts, the fashion message he communicates are all dedicated to this purpose – evolving a woman’s power and charisma.
