For the Akris Spring/Summer 2021, Albert Kriemler was inspired by the German artist Imi Knoebel to create a collection that brings ease, fluidity of movement, and a feeling of freedom, that is captured in every item, detail, and color.
“In abstract art, colors are used in a formal, ceremonial way. Knoebel`s colors, however, are extraordinarily sensual. I admire the way he always dares to develop new hues and mix them in an unexpected way. He is not afraid to use them.” - Albert Kriemler
Five of Imi Knoebel’s grand paintings from 1998 and 1999, which are also the backdrop of the lookbook, inspire the main prints in the Akris Spring/Summer 2021 collection. “Ohayo”, “Zion”, “E.T.”, “Tiger Woods” and “Blue Angel” are a perfect example of Imi Knoebel's extraordinary sense for color and his inimitable use of color and combination of unique hues, that he creates in his own color workshop.
These larger-than-life works radiate with positive energy and great joy. Translated into effortless daywear, this season’s printed silk and cotton ready-to-wear pieces as well as artful accessories featuring colorful prints are sure to put a spring in your step.
