The Strand Arcade is excited to host a show by Akira which is open to the public - a first in a number of seasons. Akira has received international recognition for his contemporary designs, which are sought after by influential boutiques throughout the world.

The Resort 12 Collection has already impressed fashion critics and buyers with deserved praise for Akira's translation of fabrics to soft and romantic silhouettes. Akira will present around 20 looks inspired by contemporary Japanese aesthetic from the collection, which is available in store at the Strand Arcade from October.

The Strand Arcade will take their Designer Series from lunch to dinner for the first time at this landmark showing. Guests will be seated around a runway on the ground floor to enjoy the show featuring Akira's latest collection over a gourmet experience.
