Color Commitment
Michelangelo had "David" and the Sistine Chapel. Tom Ford directed "A Single Man" and creates a new fashion line every 4 months. Kanye West....well Ye just does about everything...
What makes the front row happy?
Burberry Spring/Summer 2012 has now ARRIVED! Shop the collections today, we spent all morning setting it up and making sure every piece is displayed in outfits! In the world of specialty boutiques we are one of 8 stores nationally to have the honor of being able to show the collection!
Shows, shows, and more...
Wow...cannot wait for this collection to hit our door this coming fall season. Fur, leather, neutrals, and as usual some of the most interesting cuts in the industry! It's really cool to see a designer accomplish minimalism in a way that can be worn with ease and is inviting to the consumer!
DVF @ A.K.
2012 will be a banner year for many involved in the fashion industry. None more than CFDA mainstay Diane von Furstenberg at this weekends Mercedez-Benz runway show for fall. DVF abandoned her signature print matrix and resorted to color blocking in cerulean blues, chiffon appliques and satin sequins in pink lily and port red. This is such a fork in the road for the designer and a re-definition of what the DVF lady wants and who she is, A.K.RIKK'S thought it would be the perfect time to bring the designer into our home! Stay tuned for the looks from the runway gracing our doors for pre-fall in August!
Billy Reid goes to NYC
To inaugurate all the new Billy Reid arriving in the store today, thought I should get your gears moving with some great shots of the show at Lincoln Center last night. Per usual, Reid's textures and muted colors are exemplary of the message he is trying to convey to his followers: that our forefathers did it best when they paid so much attention to detail, construction and quality materials.
Food for Thought
Dario Cecchini, master butcher speaking about life and the art of producing something that is excellent. It is always incredibly beautiful to watch a person so in love with his craft, explain what drives him and what his purposes are. It is also our goal to slow down, and provide a service that shows people that there is another road to be taken.

Public House
The jolly staff of A.K. had the pleasure of staying at Public this past weekend in Chicago for a weekend of buying for our fall 2012 season and a little R&R. Hotel staff was amazing and quite accommodating for our loud bunch. We had a delicious meal and drinks at the Pump Room, an old lobby bar (formerly the Essex Inn) where the likes of Sinatra used to hang and Monroe used to play!
Who do YOU think should win?
