Mood board: 'It's all about the jacket,' enthused Albert Kriemler in his Akris show press notes. 'The jacket is a parka, a caban and a hoodie, always a blazer, it's a suit, it could be a vest, debardeur, a qipao and a redingote, a dress and even a gown.' Kriemler said it all better than we could have... the only thing missing from this description of his winter collection were the neutral colours he chose, like puddy, sand and stone rendered in jersey, tricotine and Akris' signature double-faced cashmere.
Best in show: The double-faced cashmere pocket front wide pants and matching jacket in heathered grey looked like a hyper luxe, super soft sweat suit that a woman wouldn't be ashamed to wear out of the house.
Finishing touches: The models carried enormous art-school sized portfolio cases like grey flat clutches and wore fierce pointed booties with curved stiletto heels that looked like claws.
