“Almost 100 years later, the brand is now helmed by her grandsons.

“It’s easy to understand why. Akris is a prestigious and truly authentic third-generation family-owned business.
“A rare gem in an industry where so many great fashion houses have been bought by huge corporate entities.
“It’s a fashion house with a true soul, vision and a three-generation inspired identity. Princess Charlene has such a beautiful and individual sense of style and Akris’s signature way of embodying effortless modernity reflects her individually elegant yet edgy style.”
According to the expert, Charlene finds a balance between looking “elegant” but also looking “sexy”.
She explained: “Princess Charlene has a unique and enduring style. She is consistently elegant and sexy, which is a hard balance to strike.
“She often opts for shoulder-baring dresses, body-hugging gowns, and she always maintains an edgy Princess vibe with her signature blonde pixie cut.
“She certainly emulates so much of Princess Diana’s style. Yet, she is definitely a style icon in her own right.
“In the 12 years since she’s been a Princess, Charlene has never worn a bad outfit. She knows her own style and nails it every time.”
