Kriemler has collaborated with ballet choreographer John Neumeier by designing the costumes for the ensemble of Neumeier's 2005/06 production with the Vienna Philharmonic and the Hamburg ballet's 2008 production of “The Legend of Joseph”. [8] In his cohort are not many actresses or socialites, but a cultured mix of artistic personalities including architects Pierre de Meuron, Jacques Herzog and Sou Fujimoto, artist Thomas Ruff, who inspired the fall 2014 collection with his night photographs and many others. [7] In 2009, Kriemler created the brand's first handbag collection of horsehair fabric.
