Akira on Clark

Akira was launched in 2002 and has emerged as one of the most successful clothing boutiques in Chicago. Offering women's and men's clothing and women's shoes, the owners' philosophy has always been to treat its customers to exceptional service and beautiful, well-made clothing and shoes, knowing that satisfied customers wiill come back and bring some friends.

Akira is known for being fashion-forward rather than trendy, upscale, event-focused, edgy at times, with well-made clothing and a loyal clientele. Our buyers travel far and wide searching for fresh ideas -- from the back alleys of Sao Paulo to the runways of Milan to the street looks of New York -- to ensure that Chicagoans can find the unique looks they come to expect at Akira...and where they know to expect the unexpected.
