Akris Pre-Fall 2013 Presentation Photos

Akris Pre-Fall which is heavily influenced by the heroine Amelia Earhart. Filled with luscious oranges, reds and deep blues this collection was anything but ordinary. Clean silhouettes filled with pops of colors and crisps blouses and capes that are oh so chic. Albert Kriemler took her as his muse forAkris' pre-fall collection, which he prefaced with a quote from the aviatrix herself: "I have often said that the lure of flying is the lure of beauty." She was convinced that this was the real reason that flyers fly.

To be sure, there was astounding workmanship on display in the label's pre-fall collection, specifically on a striped fur painstakingly constructed from small pieces of the fuzzy stuff not much bigger—no lie—than the o's in this sentence. And again on the pelts that were fused with knit, part techy, part craft. As for the humor, it could be subtle, as in one fur that looked faux, and another that looked like velvet. Or it could be loud: see the trio of shaved-shearling bombers in Crayola brights with bags and stiletto boots to match. Fendi's practical side deserves a shout-out here, too. Pre-fall has shaped up to be a season of great outerwear, and the house delivered on its reputation in this regard. A shearling aviator looked great, as did the army-green parka with a deep fur hem.
