Akris Punto, New York City

Akris. The name stands for a new kind of luxury. Distinctive in modernity, feminine and discreet in appearance. Simplicity, easy silhouettes and an easy combination equally contribute to the broadcast of the designer couture collection characterized by sleek cuts and soft flattering material. In 1996, the designer sportswear collection was launched with the name Akris punto. Thus, the company has created a second label with its own independent collection. The two new locations in New York, Saks at the world-famous 5th Avenue and Bergdorf Goodman, have a new lighting concept which is equipped with integrated light into the ceiling and a captivating light effect created with the special material properties.
