The Blue Hour, the last translucence before the dark, is not a color but a depth. A storm in silence. A soft to the ever-stark black.
It’s a story of clarity, of euphoria, of blue – blue in nature, blue in spaces, blue in artworks, just blue. Of gravitas and sensation – in the original sense of the word*.
Akris Fall 2025 captures the blue hour – a moment when day and night cross fleetingly, held in tension. Here, everything shifts.
An exchange of AM and PM codes, expressed through form and fabrication, seen in tailored pants taking shape with fluid panels or the half-pleated skirt, which is both serene and spontaneous. Tailored dresses and skirt suits blend substance and shape, serving as 24-hour solutions.

The jacket and coat, signatures of Albert’s universe, are not just markers of presence but symbols of transition: an overcoat reimagined in sequins, button-up jackets with wispy feathers, the short Duo trench in ottoman silk. There, fabrics are not just material but a message – for the woman who does not compromise.
Embracing the calm and soft of dusk, textures blur – a knitted wool hoodie and brushed cashmere cape resemble shearling, yet they are not. Wool doubleface plaid and plush maxi cord are imbued with a blanket-like sensibility. Taffeta ribbons and airy feathers evolve with movement, continuously changing as they follow the body – right to the next party. Cyanotype prints appear in flashes, as does the new Alice handbag in Akris’ DNA of horsehair.
