AMIRI Autumn Winter 2021.22 Menswear Collection

Fashion brand AMIRI presented their Fall Winter 2021.22 Menswear Collection, that was inspired by the cultural history of Downtown LA, and it’s arts and fashion districts. The collection merges formal and informal codes, and traditional fabrics with modern shapes. Film maker Cara Stricker directed the fashion film, inspired by free-form jazz – each character has it’s own storyline, while together they build a unified poetic narrative.

FALL WINTER 2021 MENSWEAR COLLECTIONS

“Artisanal motifs visualize a tour through DTLA: neon-soaked imagery of the city at night evokes an 80s cinematic tone, authentic paint splatter details speak of the arts district, and hand-painted visions of thriving underground music clubs, rehearsal rooms and musical notation evoke the city’s rich sonic heritage. The City of Angels manifests as a new cherub AMIRI motif, while backgammon table and chessboard embroidered knitwear sits us at its bars. Delivered with a new wave demeanour, AMIRI’s allure is at its sharpest: prominent new eyewear silhouette, Honeycomb, defines the FW21 personality, as does gold hardware – worn as necklaces or pant chains by every model.

The collection is anchored by a core line-up of accessories. Bridging the classical and practical, sneakers are worn throughout as a symbol of comfort. AMIRI introduces The Stadium as a new footwear style, designed with a refined, athletic spirit that both grounds and elevates silhouettes, while signature Skel-Toe sneakers are revealed in new season colorways. Fusing the sartorial and the technical, the decorative and practical, carry-on luggage is cut to resemble a guitar body, while AMIRI’s large Triangle Weekender bag is cast in the house’s signature bandana pattern, and multi-pocket harnesses are crafted with the nomadic artist’s travelling kit in mind.” – from Amiri
