Charlene of Monaco makes a surprise appearance at Paris Fashion Week
Princess Charlene attended, on October 1, 2022, the Akris fashion show on the forecourt of the Palais de Tokyo in Paris. Prince Albert’s wife, who had not been to France for almost four years, is an unconditional fan of the Swiss label who had signed her dress worn during the announcement of her engagement.
It has been almost four years since she participated in an event on the sidelines of fashion week in Paris. Charlène of Monaco made a remarkable appearance at the Palais de Tokyo on October 1, 2022, attending the Akris spring-summer 2023 fashion show. Dressed in a navy blue set from the Swiss brand consisting, among other things, of a jacket with an officer collar and epaulettes, Prince Albert’s wife appeared all smiles, taking her place in the front row.
This year, the high-end ready-to-wear brand is celebrating a special anniversary: that of the centenary of its creation. An event that Princess Charlene would not have missed for anything in the world. The latter indeed maintains close ties with this fashion house that she particularly likes.
In June 2010, when Princess Charlene and Prince Albert announced their engagement, the former professional swimmer opted for a turquoise dress branded Akris.
As a fan of the brand, Charlène de Monaco is regularly photographed during presentations or at the exit of parades. As here, accompanied by Albert Kriemler, the artistic director of Akris, ten years ago.
On Instagram, the wife of a prince Albert wanted to congratulate the artistic director for his collection and the longevity of his house: “Thank you Albert for this magnificent evening, and congratulations for these hundred years of perfection.”
During the show, Albert Kriemler wanted to come back to the highlights of the label by revisiting nine silhouettes taken from their archives, as reported vogue. The jumpsuit worn by Princess Charlene, taken from the 1993 collection, made an appearance on the catwalk, in a beige color.
During her last trip to Paris, in the fall of 2018, the princess appeared at the Akris spring-summer 2019 fashion show. She then had lunch with the head of state Emmanuel Macron and the mayor of Paris, Anne Hidalgo.
Since her return to the Principality in March 2022 after her hospitalization in Switzerland, Charlène of Monaco has continued to make official appearances, both on the Rock and abroad. Alongside her husband or solo, the princess confirms that she is beautiful and well back on the public scene.
