Akris Short Evening Jacket & Double-Face Pencil Skirt

For the Architectural Collection, Akris designer Albert Kriemler relied on the house's core of strong archetypes and basic components (and luxurious double-face wool). This menswear-inflected look presents an iconic Akris silhouette in black, a more dramatic choice than the collection's signature earth tones.

Details

Short Evening Jacket:
Double-face construction is an Akris signature, a subtle touch that requires the utmost skill and precision to achieve. The effect cannot be fully appreciated by sight alone; this Akris evening jacket can only really be understood by a woman who has worn it and felt the important difference in quality and fit—although its iconic silhouette is instantly recognizable.
- Black double-face knit.
- Notched lapels; hidden button front.
- Long sleeves with slit cuffs.
- Box pleats create back peplum.
- Darts contour silhouette.
- Straight hem hits below waist.
- Approx. 23"L back.
- Wool/polyamide.
- Made in Switzerland.

About Akris:
This family-owned Swiss house is guided by Creative Director Albert Kriemler. His grandmother launched the line in 1922 and drew the name from her own initials (Alice Kriemler Schoch). Today the company has earned a reputation for exceptionally well-tailored dresses, suits and separates, and each piece is still designed and produced in Switzerland.

Highlights

Double-Face Pencil Skirt:
Akris designer Albert Kriemler sprinkled the Architectural Collection with some intriguing experiments, but its foundations still consist of a strong core of basics, like this sleek wool pencil skirt. Signature double-face construction gives it an invisible boost; only a woman who has experienced it can really understand what a difference it makes.
- Black double-face knit.
- Natural waist.
- Smooth, fitted silhouette.
- Side panels slit at hem.
- Wool/nylon.
- Made in Switzerland.
