He spent many hours studying Fujimoto’s output and visiting his geometric Naoshima Pavilion, on Naoshima Island in Kagawa Prefecture, before engineering a meeting with the Japanese architect through architectural photographer Iwan Baan. Kriemler is a hardcore art and architecture buff, a passion he indulges with academic rigour rather than champagne-soaked socialising. He then designed an entire collection of clothes inspired by Fujimoto’s architectural principles. But not many designers go to the lengths of Akris’ creative director Albert Kriemler, who recreated a life-sized section of Sou Fujimoto’s House N at his show last season in Paris. Chanel recreates full-scale airports and supermarkets Marc Jacobs colonises famous Broadway theatres and Louis Vuitton has parked real trains in the middle of the catwalk. We’re accustomed to being wowed by high-production catwalk shows and sets.
