A hotel - a point of cultural rendezvous, of different lives and lifestyles. For AMIRI Spring-Summer 2026, Mike Amiri imagines a fantasy of a hotel, a universal locale in homage first to iconic Hollywood locales, and then to destinations around the world. If last season was an evening at Club AMIRI, this season is a bright, sunny day at the Chateau AMIRI. It becomes a place of escapism, a space to transport - we are present at the morning after the night before.

The language and lore of hotel life - dressed-down dining, monogrammed slippers and robes, rich upholsteries, tasseled key-fobs - become aesthetic touch-stones for a collection that takes up residence in a reimagined grand hotel, a blend of myriad environs and points of call. And here, a cast of different characters - from cinema, from music, from art, from everyday life - intersect, borrowing from each other’s identities to dress anew.

Inspiration came from a friend: the Los Angeles-based artist Wes Lang, who holed up in Room 34 of the city’s storied Chateau Marmont to create a body of work inspired by American history - of which that hotel is part. Lang’s work is here a jumping-off point, a source of influence and inspiration for AMIRI. Birds, originally illustrated by Lang on hotel stationary, here become embroideries and jacquard weaves, darting between beaded foliage that entwines exterior and interior, man and nature, just as the clothes fuse opposites - languid and laid-back with the dressed up, the relaxed with the refined.

There is a continuity, a refinement and evolution of AMIRI archetypes. Languid tailoring is cut with softer shoulders, suiting half-lined to lend fluidity and gentleness. Silhouettes echo the late 1970s - they could be on the California coast or the Riviera, cut with a swagger around the body. Elongated, with lapels dropped, they give a new nonchalance to men and women alike.

Loungewear - pajamas, robes, smoking jackets - are re-evaluated in figured silks and embroideries, blended with eased summer tailoring. The palette is optimistic - positive and light. A cocktail of desaturated, sun-bleached color nods to a lifetime in the sun - mint, raspberry, pale blue, green and gold.

Always at AMIRI, there is a soul of craft - feathers become embellishment, as tuxedo shirt ruffles and embroidery details. Going inside the suites of the Chateau AMIRI, patterns mimic hotel décor, monograms, and wallpaper and upholsteries, here afforded a new three dimensionality through intricate beading, while echoes of vintage pieces mixed with modernity reflect the blended wardrobes and inherent freedom of Los Angelean style. There is a juxtaposition - pajamas worn alongside embellished evening jackets, like Hollywood idols in private, momentarily out of the spotlight. Shoes translate hotel slippers to soft-back moccasin styles, or are reproduced in an array of jacquards and prints, embroidered and embellished with the AMIRI emblem.

Inside Le Carreau du Temple, the imaginary Chateau AMIRI becomes a reality - the venue itself like the hotel, the show décor the outside brought in. In this garden courtyard with fountain bubbling and greenery overhead, our diverse personas and unique AMIRI individuals cross paths. Here, we see separate perspectives blending, different worlds coming together.
