Designer Albert Kriemler’s love of architecture is no secret to women who depend on Akris for multitasking wardrobe mainstays characterized by pristine lines, painstaking tailoring and luxe fabrics (hello, double-faced cashmere). And when store director Dianne DeVeny welcomes aficionados during the August 1 opening of a 1,700-square-foot boutique at Highland Park Village — joining locations in New York and Boston — the influence of American artist Franz Kline via sudden swaths of color and brushstroke-inspired patterns will also be seen. This event coincides with the release of Assouline’s Akris, a lavish exploration of the brand’s DNA by Valerie Steele, director and chief curator at the Museum of Fashion Institute of Technology. 43A Highland Park Village, 214.530.0004; akris.ch.
