AMI Paris for Men

Born in 1980, Alexandre Mattiussi was originally destined to become a dancer, but later went on to study applied arts at the Duperré school. After working with top fashion houses such as Christian Dior, Givenchy and Marc Jacobs, taking him to various fashion capitals, he decided in 2011 to create his own men's ready-to-wear brand: Ami. The name plays on Alexandre Mattiussi's initials and also refers to the notion of friendship. In 2012, the brand opened its first boutique to showcase its collections of clothing and accessories, as well as leather goods. In 2013, Ami won the ANDAM prize, which aims to support future talent in the fashion industry. From 2017 onwards, Ami Paris presents four ready-to-wear men's collections a year before creating a women's collection for the first time in 2018. Ami Paris has a strong influence on new fashion trends, such as the return of the bob as a key piece in men's wardrobes at Paris Fashion Week 2019. In the space of less than 15 years, Ami Paris has become a must-have fashion brand.

With his authentic, convivial approach, Alexandre Mattiussi has captured the very essence of Parisian nonchalance, transcending the barriers between chic and casual. Inspired by both, it has become an elegant yet timeless brand, offering easy-to-wear basics for everyday wear. Ami Paris pieces are often in sober, monochrome colors, embellished with a pretty red heart-shaped A, not printed, but embroidered, and some with graphic prints to spice up the clothing collections. We also find loose, sportswear-inspired cuts mixed with more elegant, glamorous ones. Alexandre Mattiussi finds his inspiration in reinterpreting men's fashion. Ami is of course a reference to the "friend" we all have, and the universe is created around this philosophy, going against the grain of other brands increasingly focused on concepts more disconnected from reality. The message goes beyond love: this is a brand by man for man. These are everyday pieces for a man you meet every day, according to the founder. Simplicity is the brand's strength, and he likes to create practical, comfortable clothes. Ami Paris represents classic casual par excellence with quality finishes. Ami was founded in the spirit of a family affair, something crafted as a team, and we find this good-natured spirit throughout all the collections. Authenticity is another strong value that we feel through his work. Paris is also a source of inspiration for the designer, who enjoys observing people in the street.

Ami Paris offers a wide selection of garments in plain, sober colors with impeccable finishes. The pieces are made in Portugal, except for coats and suits, which are created in Tunisia. The different ranges of garments are of excellent quality, thanks to carefully selected workshops. Wherever possible, Ami uses 100% natural materials to ensure the durability and comfort of its products. For example, a t-shirt or shirt will be made from 100% cotton. Wool is used for cardigans and warm coats, mainly for the autumn/winter collections. Wool and cotton knits are the perfect representation of Alexandre Mattiussi's inspirations. The use of leather and denim also features prominently in the Ami Paris collections. He also uses polyester and linen for various garments in his collections.

Because of the superb quality and elegance of these products, it's obvious that all fans of men's fashion want to look after their beautiful Ami Paris garments as well as possible, but there's nothing special to do compared to other garments. It's important to consult the label, which contains washing instructions, in order to wash the garments at the perfect temperature and to know if any special treatment needs to be applied. For larger items, such as coats, it is also possible to take them to a specialist to ensure optimal cleaning at the right temperature without any risk. Given the quality materials used, your garments should tend to be less damaged than fast-fashion garments, and last better over time.
