AMIRI returns to Paris with a vision forged in California sun and childhood imagination. In the Jardin des Plantes, Mike Amiri stages Spring-Summer ‘23 as a dreamscape of endless possibility — a creative realm where artistry and design merge, and traditional codes are cast aside. It is a collection that celebrates drawing outside the lines, a reflection of AMIRI’s freethinking spirit and high-art sensibility.
Spring-Summer ‘23 transposes Mike Amiri’s formative Los Angeles years onto a Parisian stage. Here, fleeting memories of skate parks, sports fields and early creativity are transformed into refined tailoring and expressive silhouettes. This is a world where suiting flows like jersey and stagewear meets skate style — blending sophistication with nostalgia in sun-faded hues of alabaster, dusty rose and azure blue.
The collection explores the lightness of texture and volume. Traditional materials — leather, silk, suede, cashmere — are softened and reworked through an effortless lens. Wide-leg pleated trousers echo skatewear, while deconstructed blazers and elongated shorts reimagine street codes in a tailored form. From tie-dyed silk tracksuits to patchworked varsity jackets and tapestry knits, garments are imbued with memory, individuality and craft.
Each piece is touched by California’s sun-washed spirit. In-house dye techniques and textural treatments give garments a uniquely aged quality, while hand-painted graphics and a Pegasus motif invite fantasy into the real. The story continues through accessories: the MA Two sneaker nods to skate heritage, while MA Crossbodys and bumbags offer daily ease. The collection closes in Mike’s words: ‘Engineered in California, inspired by precious memories. For the young and the young at heart.’
