The Consulate General of Switzerland in Montreal invites you to discover the documentary of AKRIS – Fashion With a Heritage, dedicated to Swiss fashion house Akris.

For the first time in 100 years, this family business opens its doors to a camera crew. Directed by Reiner Holzemer, the film follows Albert and Peter Kriemler, who run one of the last remaining independent names in the industry, as they prepare for the house's centenary.

From ateliers and runway shows to collaborations with artists, architects and choreographers, the documentary immerses viewers in a world defined by craftsmanship, precision and Swiss creativity.
