Watch the fashion show for AMIRI AUTUMN-WINTER 2026 RUNWAY SHOW at Paris Fashion Week
AMIRI AUTUMN-WINTER 2026 RUNWAY SHOW
Amiri’s Autumn/Winter 2026 show unfolded like a slow exhale—one of those moments where fashion stops being product and becomes atmosphere. The kind of atmosphere you feel on your skin before you understand it with your mind. Mike Amiri has always been a poet of the West Coast mythos, but this season he seemed to reach for something quieter, more elemental, as if he were stitching the changing of the seasons directly into cloth.
“For me, men’s formalwear is most interesting when it feels effortless and personal. I love the idea of artists wearing tailoring in an informal way – a blazer over a Henley, boots instead of dress shoes. Clothes that feel like an extension of who you are. That balance is the sweet spot for Amiri: something that can exist on stage but also walk right off into real life. It shouldn’t feel like costume or performance. Decoration is about punctuation, not embellishment, about thoughtful details, harmony, and authenticity. The craftsmanship reveals itself the closer you get.” - Mike Amiri
The heart of AMIRI – our reality, our heart, our home. The Autumn-Winter 2026 men’s and women’s collection draws its inspiration from the authentic identity of AMIRI: Los Angeles and California as enduring points of reference, and a root in music, where Mike Amiri’s fashion career began. An eternal passion, a constant influence, here Los Angeles music culture is translated into a modern American luxury.
In a reflection of and on intimacy, this season’s inspiration shifts to the Hollywood Hills, to Laurel Canyon – homestead of cinematic royalty in the city’s Golden Age, and since the 1970s a hub of counterculture, creativity, and music within the city’s cultural fabric. That locale in the ’70s sets the scene: ideas of that decade, definitive for West Coast style, are translated with the ideals of today. Diversity, individuality, inclusion – pieces crossing between all genders, embraced. Formalwear born from performance becomes part of a timeless wardrobe, reshaped with real American proportions, for modern life.
Men’s formalwear is given a nonchalance, a personal dimension. Inspired by the hybrid wardrobes of artists, tailoring is worn with ease – dressed-up for day, denim for evening. Clothes become an evocation of personality. This is not a relaxation, but rather a sense of occasion brought to daily life. Jeans are flocked with rich velvet; embroideries provide punctuation and emphasis. Boyfriend suits are taken by girlfriends; delicate embroidered knits cross from her wardrobe to his – an expression of life. There is a feel of the lived-in, the long-loved. A timelessness, an eternality.
Evocations of eras, a sense of nostalgia with a sensibility of now. A reality of how we dress. A wardrobe of modern American classics – western wear, officer’s jackets, leather, and classic denim – is given a detailing expressive of AMIRI savoir-faire: a conversation through craft and creativity spanning the Atlantic, connecting Laurel Canyon and Paris. Color is hazed with nostalgia – deep merlot and burgundies, sage and mint green, bright blues – a uniquely AMIRI palette. Emblematic tailoring is worn with lean jeans; casual mixes with glamorous elements drawn from evening attire. On stage and off, the mood fuses easiness with elegance.
The reiteration and refinement of an AMIRI language: evolutions of key pieces within a distinct AMIRI aesthetic, each heightened and polished. Silhouettes remain identifiable through cut; signature handbags – the Honey, the East-West Pouchette clutch – are reconsidered. AMIRI’s eyewear proposition expands, while the iconic original AMIRI western boots are recalibrated and updated.
Every seam is considered, becoming a streamlined form of decoration as well as a definition of silhouette. Embroideries and embellishments elevate – designed not to dazzle, but to create intimacy, their artisanship revealing itself up close with an obsession for detail. The closer you get, the more you feel.
The show space itself recreates the intimacy of home – a curation of furniture and objects, careworn and loved, a reality. Like a luxurious den in an imaginary, idealized Laurel Canyon home, AMIRI opens its doors, to welcome guests inside. Rather than the fantasy of a runway show, this is an echo of living, the actuality of the AMIRI man and woman today.
