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.

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.
