@akrisofficial just wrapped its year-long 100th anniversary celebrations, and the tentpole exhibition about the St. Gallen-based fashion brand at Switzerland’s top design museum, the Museum für Gestaltung Zurich, clocked nearly 27,000 visitors, a new record, before it closed on Sept. 24.

The display focused on Albert Kriemler‘s creative process and particularly the last 15 years, when artistic collaborations and technical wizardry came to the fore.

The designer has proven that he has prescient visual instincts. For example, he shined a spotlight on Reinhard Voigt’s pixelized oil paintings from the ’60s and ’70s, and incorporated them into his fall 2022 designs, long before the motif appeared in Loewe and Louis Vuitton collections.

“It’s pure feeling, honestly,” the modest Kriemler said during a preview of his spring 2024 lineup, when asked how he selects the artists that inspire him.
