What to know about AMIRI
AMIRI is the Los Angeles luxury label founded by designer Mike Amiri, who started out making hand-distressed, one-off pieces for musicians before building a full ready-to-wear house. The collections run on rock-and-roll and West Coast references: shredded and paint-splattered denim, leather patchwork MX1 jeans, bandana prints, biker jackets, tailoring with a loose silhouette, and Skel-Top and Stars Court sneakers. Amiri shows on the Paris runway calendar and operates flagship stores including Rodeo Drive in Beverly Hills. Italy's OTB Group (Diesel, Maison Margiela) holds a minority stake acquired in 2019.
