Ami

AMI Paris is a clothing brand created in 2011 by Alexandre Mattiussi in Paris. After working with big brands such as Givenchy or Christian Dior and travelling between Milan, New York and Paris,  Alexandre decided to launch is own brand, AMI. The brand offers an elegant, casual and classical wardrobe for men and women. The brand's name AMI plays with its owner initials and the French translation of the word meaning "friend". The label's philosophy relies a lot on their casual, friendly and authentic nature. As for their previous seasons collections available on our website, we are lucky enough to count AMI de coeur sweatshirts, no sleeve shirts, cardigan, AMI de coeur jacket and other items displaying the "De coeur" which means heart in French.

AMI DE COEUR, A LOVE STORY

AMI Paris is a reference to the "friend" we all want to have. With its logo composed by an "A" topped with a heart, it represent Alexandre and AMI's initals. Mattiussi wants to transmit emotions through his collections and creations. It might be simple, but it's simply beautiful. The "A" adorned with a heart is present on the majority of their items such as cap, polo, shirt, hoodie, sweatshirts, pants and shorts. 

This season, the heart is bigger, it might be to represent love with a big "A" of AMI, our friend of heart.

AMI LABEL'S SIGNATURE

Alexandre wanted to make collections that arbore both casual and a chic look, aiming to deliver an authentic and positive message while keeping at the same time an exclusive and urban spirit. 

In 2017, AMI's recognizable De Coeur logo became the label's new signature. Present on every single items, it represents Alexandre's message and ambition which is to make a brand that radiates a positive energy all around the world and bring people together as friends.

AMI, BY ALEXANDRE MATTUISSI

Let's revisit a little the career of one the most important figures in current French fashion. Born in Normandy, the young man quickly found himself a passion for dancing. His dream ? The Opéra Garnier located in Paris. This passion didn't last too long because Alexandre wasn't comfortable enough to dance in front of a thousand people, he said exactly "I missed the contest because I knew my life wasn't there".

Although he gave up on dancing, the young man was still attracted to everything that touches art and creation. It was at the Duperré school school that he studied art, design and fashion. Then, he decided to specialize in men's clothing.

His down-to-earth mentality ad his creations will quickly speak to the general public. He opened his first official store in Paris in December 2012. In July 2013, he received the prestigious by the National Association for the Development of Fashion Arts.
