AMIRI’s Autumn-Winter 2023 collection is the equivalent of a soundtrack. A layered composition drawn through the memories and ambitions of CEO and Creative Director Mike Amiri.
We drop the needle on an original composition written and performed live by legendary US producer DJ Premier and The Badder Band, transporting us to 90's New York: when the East Coast was setting the agenda – with Premier as its lead orchestrator. This is where the AW23 process began, with Mike in Premier’s Queens studio exchanging ideas and discovering archival cuts that link to the designer’s own formative years.
Runway Looks
Within a meeting of craft and flow, Premier’s layered musical scores are mirrored by textured garments. An image of Premier at his decks is drawn as knit, while a patchwork varsity jacket is adorned with badges inspired by those from the archive. ‘Some artists make music some make history’ is written in appliqué across select pieces, paying ultimate homage. Like Premier's scratches, Mike Amiri’s ornate, craftful details are his signature.
