Amiri Basks in Hometown Glory for FW22 Collection

February 17, 2022

While many designers travel far and wide in search of inspiration and appeal, Mike Amiri brought us back home this week. In a recent move away from Parisian runways, Amiri unveiled his namesake label’s Fall/Winter 2022 with an in-person show in its hometown of Los Angeles. The move is indicative of a keen self-awareness on the part of Amiri, who pays homage to the city that made him alongside artist and collaborator Wes Lang. Although designers across Europe, and beyond, may try to emulate the chic, relaxed cool of California style, Amiri proves that the sauce just won’t taste the same with his authentic interpretation. All the while cementing his place as one of the most influential menswear designers in America.

A celebrity-studded front row welcomed the collection with enthusiasm, including Kourtney Kardashian and Travis Barker, Usher, Gunna, and Angus Cloud. The turnout for Amiri’s showcase perfectly reflects his MVP designer status among the Hollywood glitterati. While the popularity of the label among celebrity fans surely doesn't hurt, the designs themselves speak in volumes. Featuring a conceptual shift towards more versatile and tailored wears, the collection unveils new depths within Amiri’s capabilities.
