Akris finds inspiration in the verdant depths of Colombia for Fall 2026

The dense, saturated green of a rainforest canopy meets the precise tailoring that defines Akris in the Amazon Green collection for Fall 2026. This new palette emerges not from trend forecasting but from the rich visual memory of Colombia’s valleys and mountain ranges, landscapes that shaped the imagination of artist Olga de Amaral, whose work has long captivated the Swiss house’s creative direction.

A structured blazer in deep forest green demonstrates the collection’s approach: the colour carries the weight of those topographical references, while the tailoring remains impeccably restrained. Worn here with a chocolate brown ribbed turtleneck and a small bronze metallic clutch, the garment speaks to a particularly sophisticated restraint. This is not the emerald of evening wear or theatrical costume, but rather the green of ferns unfurling in dappled light, of moss on ancient stone, of the natural world observed with an artist’s eye.

The silhouette favours Akris’s signature ease within precision: proportions that flatter without clinging, fabrics chosen for their subtle movement and durability. A corduroy finish catches the light, suggesting texture and dimension that photographs rarely capture in flat reproduction. The collection translates landscape into wearable colour without resorting to literal botanical print or nostalgic pastiche.

This is a collection that asks the wearer to think beyond seasonal trends and into the deeper wells of artistic inspiration. The Amazon Green palette will appear across the Fall 2026 offering, from outerwear to accessories, each piece considered within the framework of how colour, when chosen with intention and restraint, transforms the fundamental neutrality of well made clothing into something that carries meaning and memory.
