Some brands are born from tradition, and others from attitude.

AKEP carries a little of both. Born in southern Italy; where knitwear and craftsmanship are part of everyday life; the brand began its journey in 2015 with a simple intention: to create pieces that blend the quality of Made in Italy with a fresh, youthful, and deeply contemporary vision.

From the very beginning, AKEP understood that urban fashion could also be elegant; that knitwear could be reinvented; that craftsmanship and digital culture could coexist. And slowly, it shaped its own universe: textured pieces, enveloping silhouettes, and an energy that mixes creativity, spontaneity, and undeniable Italian character.

The AKEP aesthetic: textures that tell stories

There is something special in the way the brand merges tradition with modernity: a boho-chic spirit—soft and expressive with an urban style that refuses to be overly minimalistic.

If there’s something that defines AKEP, it’s its ability to bring clothes to life.Colors that breathe, volumes that embrace the body, fabrics that aren’t just worn… but felt. AKEP doesn’t chase immaculate perfection; it searches for the beauty that comes from movement, from texture, from unexpected details.

Suite Room 01: when imagination becomes design

For FW25/26, the brand introduces a very special capsule: Suite Room 01. A collection built somewhere between reality and imagination, where creativity expands through tools like Artificial Intelligence, which AKEP integrates into its design process to explore new shapes, prints, and visual narratives.

The result is an intimate, modern capsule with a signature aesthetic: pieces that speak not only of style, but of personality.

When a brand connects with real people

AKEP has resonated with figures who embody its free, contemporary spirit. Among them are Cecilia Rodríguez, (Argentinian model) with her Mediterranean elegance and strong presence, and Samantha Siqueiros, (an mexican actress and creator, appearence on spanish tv shows such as Velvet or Berlín) whose authenticity brings the brand to life.

Both have worn AKEP naturally and effortlessly, showing how the brand adapts to a confident, creative woman unafraid to mix styles.

Its forward-looking vision has led AKEP to collaborate with Istituto Marangoni, aligning the brand with the next generation of designers and contemporary fashion culture.
