Bringing the two lines together, Creative Director Mike Amiri re- imagines a dream of Los Angeles, a fantasy Hollywood lounge bar – AMIRI at night, in Club AMIRI. A cinematic interpretation of the city’s nightlife, peopled by its unique characters, men and women, this collection encapsulates the unmistakable spirit of Los Angeles, which always inspires.
Although fabrics, colors and sensibilities cross between genders, here the AMIRI woman stands alone, with power and presence. The mood is dressed-up, elevated and refined – the polish and formality of timeless after-dark dressing, afforded a new and contemporary sense of relaxed and distinctly American ease.
For women, the signature attenuated AMIRI silhouette is cut in fine wools and velvet, with elongated slipstream gowns in bias-cut silk-satin, or intricately engineered metallic knit evening column with integrated sequins. Each is afforded a new ease distinct to LA, a reflection of the AMIRI sensibility. The palette is delicate and muted, unusual shades shifting color as if viewed after dark – merlot burgundies and greens, golden espresso browns, mint and gilt. Women wear ties, tuxedos and tailoring, striped foulard silks cut into sleek shirts, glossy leather alongside satin, each picking up the evening light.
Gestures of romance and love, roses appear, with real blooms dipped in 24-karat gold, applied to lapels, and held in hands. Accessories pull focus, demand close-up attention. Eyewear is a new addition to the AMIRI universe, in acetate with golden Art Deco-inspired detailing like jewelry. This season, women’s handbags expand, debuting a selection of evening-focused East- West clutches.
