AMIRI Fall/Winter 2026

Where Nostalgia, Music, and Modern Life Intersect

AMIRI returned to Paris Fashion Week on January 22 with its Fall/Winter 2026 men’s and women’s collection, an evocative exploration of nostalgia, music culture, and the effortless tension between dressing up and dressing down. Deeply rooted in the brand’s Los Angeles DNA, the collection reflects a lifestyle shaped by creativity, individuality, and lived experience.

At its core, Fall/Winter 2026 captures the space between onstage and off-duty. It is a wardrobe designed not for performance, but for real life, where tailoring meets denim, where refinement feels instinctive rather than prescribed, and where clothing moves fluidly across gender boundaries.

Dressing with Intuition, Not Performance

Founder and Creative Director Mike Amiri continues to refine his vision of modern menswear and womenswear as something deeply personal. For him, the most compelling looks are those that feel natural, tailoring worn without ceremony, elegance expressed without rigidity.

This philosophy drives the collection’s approach to formalwear. Blazers are layered over casual essentials, boots replace traditional dress shoes, and suits are designed to live comfortably beyond their original context. The result is a quiet redefinition of luxury: relaxed, intuitive, and grounded in authenticity.

Rather than overstatement, detail is treated with restraint. Embellishment appears as thoughtful punctuation, revealed gradually through craftsmanship, texture, and finish. The closer one looks, the more the narrative unfolds.

Laurel Canyon: A Cultural and Emotional Anchor

The spiritual heart of the season lies in Laurel Canyon, the storied enclave in the Hollywood Hills long associated with artists, musicians, and creative communities. Once a retreat for figures from Hollywood’s golden age, it later evolved into a crucible of counterculture and musical experimentation during the 1970s.

AMIRI translates this legacy into a contemporary context, channeling the era’s openness and individuality through modern silhouettes and materials. The collection embraces inclusivity and diversity, with garments intentionally designed to be shared, free from rigid gender conventions and defined instead by attitude and ease.

Tailoring Reimagined for Everyday Life

Fall/Winter 2026 places tailoring at the center of everyday expression. Inspired by the hybrid wardrobes of artists, the collection proposes clothes that adapt to different moments, structured enough for day, relaxed enough for night.

Velvet-flocked denim, embroidered knits, textured cardigans, and sharp tailoring paired with slim jeans establish a rhythm throughout the collection. Each look feels lived, in rather than styled, reinforcing AMIRI’s belief that clothing should mirror the personality of its wearer.

Women in borrowed-from-the-boys suits and men in delicately embroidered knits underscore the fluidity of the season. What emerges is not theatricality, but realism, fashion rooted in continuity, comfort, and self-expression.

A Palette of Memory and Modernity

The collection’s color story deepens the sense of nostalgia while remaining unmistakably contemporary. Rich tones of merlot and burgundy are balanced with sage, mint green, and vivid blues, creating a palette that feels emotional yet grounded.

This interplay of lightness and depth reflects the duality of the AMIRI universe, equally at home under stage lights or in the intimacy of daily life. It is this balance that defines the mood of Fall/Winter 2026.

Evolving the AMIRI Design Language

Season by season, AMIRI continues to refine its visual codes. Precise silhouettes are achieved through meticulous cutting, while accessories play an increasingly important role. Signature handbags, including the Honey and the East-West Pochette Clutch, return with subtle reinterpretations.

Eyewear offerings expand, and the brand’s iconic western boots are reconstructed with a more contemporary sensibility. Throughout the collection, seams serve both functional and decorative purposes, shaping the garment while reinforcing its identity.

An Intimate Runway Experience

The show space itself echoed the collection’s emotional landscape. Furnished with objects that felt worn, collected, and personal, the setting evoked a secluded Laurel Canyon residence, luxurious, yet deeply human.

Rather than a conventional runway spectacle, the environment reinforced the idea of lived, in luxury. AMIRI’s Fall/Winter 2026 presentation felt less like a fantasy and more like a reflection of modern American life, emotional, authentic, and quietly confident.

In this season, AMIRI doesn’t chase nostalgia, it lives within it, reshaping memory into a wardrobe for the present moment.
