Should someone feel compelled to give out an award, Akris would win hands-down for the most elegant party of Paris fashion week. On Wednesday evening, designer Albert Kriemler received about a hundred guests at the company's City of Light HQ, a flat in the tony 16th arrondissement. As they looked out at the reflection of the Eiffel Tower in the building across the way, guests in cocktail attire drank Champagne and waited patiently for the main attraction: dinner. Unlike the usual fashion-week event, where you're lucky to grab a dried-out canapé, Kriemler had his chef, who seems to have a personal following among the designer's friends and acquaintances, cook for everyone. On the menu was traditional, hearty Swiss fare—which, at the end of a long day of shows, was most welcome.
