A FRESH TAKE ON THE TRENCH

Akris creative director Albert Kriemler champions a sleek city aesthetic that goes down a storm with US working women, up to and including Angelina Jolie and

Amal Clooney. The

Swiss label’s chic separates are often printed with pieces from his own contemporary art and photography collection but this season he worked with Romanian artist Geta Brătescu on a more playful approach. A star piece from the runway was this light fluid trench coat in soft cerulean blue decorated with a large naif eye. Brătescu died on Sept 19 at the age of 92, but her joyful spirit lives on.
