Do you want hang tags, too? This is from a new-old-stock dress with Gunne Sax label #12 on your list. (The back of the tag is completely blank.)
And by the way, I want to thank you for making such a wonderful resource!

Akris of Switzerland label taken from an early 1980's dress.
Akris was founded in Switzerland in 1922 by Alice Kriemler-Schoch. The company initially made simple, dotted aprons that were crafted by
Kriemler-Schoch on a single sewing machine. In 1944, her son, Max Kriemler, took over the business. The company grew significantly and under Max
Kriemler, Akris produced clothing lines for French designers Givenchy and Ted Lapidus.
In 1980, Max Kriemler’s right-hand man died so his son, Albert, was asked to postpone his fashion studies in Paris along with an apprenticeship at
Givenchy, in order to help with the transition. As a result, Albert would never complete his fashion education but within that two year absence, he
had already begun to take over the company.
Peter Kriemler, Albert’s brother, joined Akris in 1987 to head its financial side. Peter is now Akris’s global president, handling management and
manufacturing.
Under Albert Kriemler’s creative direction, Akris became increasingly conscious of the quality of its design. Albert is known for his creative flair
and demand for uncompromising quality. In 1995, Akris also introduced a less expensive, younger-looking line called Akris Punto.
Akris was admitted to the French 'Chambre Syndicale', the governing body of the French fashion industry, in 2000. Unusually, the company delayed
participating in Paris Fashion Week until 2004, when it was able to secure a spot on one of the event’s most important days. In the 2000s, the
company was one of the world's fastest-growing designer brands, becoming the top seller at stores such as Bergdorf Goodman and Neiman Marcus.
Akris's success is largely due to word of mouth. The company does very little advertising and its success has differed considerably from that of
other luxury brands as it doesn't rely on production of signature fragrances or handbags and doesn't license its name.
As an example of their uncompromising quality, a seamstress is required to train for two years before they can master the hand-finishing of Akris’s
double-faced cashmere jackets, each of which requires two and a half days to complete.
Celebrity devotees of the Akran label include Condoleezza Rice, Nicole Kidman, Susan Sarondon and Angelina Jolie.

Louise, did you write that or is it from a source?
Let me know if it needs to be re-written or if we can use as is and credit you. Thanks!

Thanks Tiffany! I got snippets of information from Wikipedia http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Akris and also from the Akris website http://www.akris.ch/html/english/. It took me a while to put it all together and
summarise it. They have such a long history! Hopefully it doesn't go on too much.
I had no idea how 'high-end' this label was until today. Hope you can use it.

Just doing research on the Geoffrey Beene Boutique label. It was introduced for Spring 1972. I'm finding Beene Boutique dresses being advertised as
60s all over the place. The Boutique label was his third tier line, below the couture line and the Beene Bazaar label. Can you add this to the Beene
bio?

Classic Nouveau By Fiorucci, from a late 80's men's rayon shirt. There was involvement between Fiorucci and J.P. Gaultier with this label, just as a
sidenote. Still researching the shirt.

From a 1950s suit:
Born in Providence, RI in 1914, Jennie Minnasian went to Paris at age 15, where she studied design and then apprenticed under Jean Patou. She
returned to America in 1939, due to the outbreak of WWII. She married her husband, Victor Alexander, in 1940. Reportedly, he was the son of a
Turkish Pasha, a title equivalent to that of a European count, thus the name of the business, Countess Alexander. She opened her business with one
sewing machine in New York on the 4th floor of a non-elevator building on E. 47th St. It was difficult to persuade buyers to climb the stairs, but
eventually, Countess Alexandra's clothes were carried by more than 200 high-end specialty shops and department stores across the US, including Hattie
Carnegie and Bergdorf Goodman. By the late 1960s, Countess Alexander had 60 employees and turned out about 8,000 dresses a year. Prices for a
Countess Alexander dress in 1969 ranged from $250 - $2000.

We don't have this particular L'Aiglon label.
I added the union label with the RN #s for dating.
I believe it's late 50's or early 60's.
I'm trying to get pics of the dress these belong to.
And - I just think this label is too cute!
From the Cotton shirtwaist pictured with it.
