Ami Paris is a French clothing brand established in Paris in 2011 by founder Alexandre Mattiussi, and the marque has always taken design inspiration from its namesake city. Ami Paris creates clothing for both men and women, in a celebration of mutual admiration and inclusion is symbolized in the first word of the brand name, Ami, which translates from French to English as "friend."
In his metier designing clothes for all genders, Alexandre Mattiussi aims to capture the relaxed and effortless elegance for which Parisian style is known. Imbuing his designs with inspiration taken from his lifelong admiration for both cinema and ballet, styles like the Ami Paris ADC Cardigan utilize a simple color palette and clever logo imagery to execute Mattiussi’s vision of Parisian casual chic. The cardigan’s A heart logo in red on off-white is sweet and referential, tapping into the universal appeal of both the ace of hearts from a playing card deck and Ami Paris’ emphasis on friendship. The black buttons are a natural choice, adding a graphic accent.
While specializing in all categories of cut and sewn sportswear for both men and women, including items like Sherpa outerwear, baseball jackets, and trousers, Ami Paris also fills their assortment with comfortable basics. Mattiussi’s preternatural understanding of how to blend streetwear basics like logo hoodies and sweatshirts and tees with ready-to-wear makes Ami Paris a brand that works well as an entire ensemble or paired with other streetwear favorites.
