「我以前在安特衛普讀書時，人們說我有東方的品味；但是在日本，我的衣服在文章中被寫道—他們感受到了西方風格的強烈影響。」
設計師中章 (Akira Naka) 在美國的生活期間遇見了一位裁縫師，從此踏入服裝設計的領域；後來進入安特衛普皇家藝術學院 (Royal Academy of Fine Arts) 研究針織設計，作品更入選了海耶爾國際時尚攝影藝術節 (Hyères International Festival of Fashion and Photography)。畢業後 Akira Naka 在 2006 年回到日本，於隔年創立時裝品牌 POESIE，隨後在 2009 年春夏更名為同名品牌 AKIRANAKA。
AKIRANAKA 以立體剪裁、精細輪廓和針織設計聞名，運用紡織品的豐富性揉合了北歐和日本的手工編織技術，其中標誌性的「漸變針織」與針織高訂服飾更享有很高的聲譽。品牌不同於歐洲的優雅，也未融合東京或前衛的街頭風格，而是從日本歷史悠久的美學與文化出發，為女性打造高質感的現代服飾。
AKIRANAKA 2021 早春度假系列以陶藝家 Valentine Schlegel 的作品為靈感，將雕塑品高雅動感的曲線融入服裝廓型當中，並以高品質工藝增添了奢華感。其中以西裝外套結合日式和服讓人留下深刻的印象，剪裁上以弧形曲線打破了傳統正裝的樣式，並在腰線強調了緊身設計；整體以光滑柔軟的面料、豐富的針織層次，以及懸垂和抽繩細節，呈現了設計師心中「適度且性感」的女性形象。
