The AMI Fall/Winter 23 collection is designed in a pure,
Light, almost romantic gesture,
Flowing on the stage of the Opéra Bastille in Paris.
At the beginning of the story,
Paris is also a source of inspiration rooted in the essence of the brand,
Alexandre Mattiussi put his eyes on it
The ease and aptness of the French interpretation of dressing,
Summative and innovative.
This is undoubtedly AMI as well
Alexandre Mattiussi's new beginnings,
Continuing what the brand has been doing for 12 years,
Peel off the relaxed and casual dress of the French,
This defines a more simple and elegant modern wardrobe.
As guests ascend the majestic steps of Place de la Bastille, through the foyer, into the main hall, past the parterre, past the orchestra pit and then to the side of the stage where they are seated. It was as if you had stepped into the Opera, and you were relaxed by the elegant beige carpet carved onto the stage, this was the first fashion show at the Opéra Bastille.
It seems that I am beginning to understand the intuitive and inevitable color of the AMI 23 Fall/Winter collection named "Prelude". "Prelude" means the beginning or subsequent act in opera and classical music, and it is fitting to see the fashion on the opera stage.
It's clearly not enough to echo the stage, and in Alexandre Mattiussi's words, the series is a summation of season after season of AMI's performances. The seed planted in the mind since the brand's inception, and the 12 years of continuous definition of the modern wardrobe have taken root, giving life to this collection, and this summary is the beginning of a new chapter.
At the moment, any attention paid outside the series seems superfluous, deliberately keeping the set simple and unpretentious, in contrast to the grand stage and surroundings. Before the end of the show, singer Moses sings the familiar "Doomed" in the spotlight, and it is dark all around, which adds a bit of doom to this series, which is both the end and the beginning.
Models of different generations shuttled through the runway, interpreting elegance across ages and genders at the same frequency. This season returns to the essence of AMI, Alexandre Mattiussi depicts Parisian men and women in soft, brisk collections from Paris, where the brand was born and where he has always been inspired, and creates a simple and casual dress rooted in Paris.
Have Parisians ever struggled with clothing? What kind of wardrobe keeps them casual and playful, smart and pragmatic in the street? Alexandre Mattiussi answered in his intimate clothing language.
Compared to AMI's previous contrasting and unexpected colors, this season is like a poetic and harmonious freehand picture. Beige, transitioning to natural light brown and taupe, pale pink, light yellow, aqua blue and neutral light gray, leather and accessories collide with darker colors, soft and picturesque colors give autumn and winter fashion a light look.
Can luxurious autumn and winter fabrics combine rare lightness? Silk, alpaca and cashmere, the comfortably wrapped touch brings autumn and winter warmth, and the texture of the fabric is rewritten through crinkled, fluffy and other treatments, resulting in a more elegant lightness. Tulle embroidered the original heavy work and luxury to carry the lightness and agility, adding subtle details and artistic atmosphere to the whole garment.
A universal silhouette must be clean and powerful. The collection has a simple structure and is both practical and practical, with a loose fit that gives soft, streamlined lines to the body, while creating a familiar sense of life through its comfortable and generous silhouette. Soft but not overly feminine, on the contrary, it adds a tough and masculine atmosphere. Clothing comes from consciousness, driven by internal individual concepts, clothing is completed into different combinations, and the essence of clothing is to serve people. The collection returns to the essence of AMI, and the light and spontaneous fashion design is related to every portrayal of Parisian life and style, just like capturing a natural corner of the streets of Paris, which is more relaxed and flexible, and more about authenticity.
The accessories that shuttle through the runway are not to be underestimated, and the hard and neat handbags add a bit of flirt to the brisk look throughout; The huge handbag made of soft leather resembling a "pillow" is like one of the structures of the garment itself, which is intimately attached to the side of the body.
Jewelry also has this "lighthearted playfulness", and the slight asymmetry constitutes a deliberately preserved imperfection, and this is where their beauty lies. Gemstones that appear to be unevenly set are like gradually distorted and blurred traces in the gaps of time. Imperfect beauty gives jewelry a rich soul.
Constantly perfecting to create a truly modern wardrobe, whether men or women, enjoy freedom under soft and poetic colors, unrestrained tailoring is generous and delicate, and create a familiar touch of life for the wearer, the structure is clean and smooth, the fabric always remains light under the warmth of autumn and winter, and it has never been cumbersome due to the luxurious sophistication of texture and touch. No matter what the scene, there is no need to worry about wardrobe choice, always maintain elegance and pragmatism.
Chinese actor Shi Baiyu attended the show and performed a fashionable style with a frank look. Starlight, Catherine Deneuve, Carla Bruni, Xavier Dolan, Noah Schnapp, Pierre Niney, Simona Tabasco, Hoshi (SEVENTEEN), Gwendoline Christie, Anna Gentry, Usher, Dylan O'Brien sat down on the show to watch the light fashion on the opera stage.
Alexandre Mattiussi, the birthplace and inexhaustible source of inspiration for AMI, the city's own historical, artistic and cultural atmosphere, and the casual and relaxed way of dressing Parisians, continue to influence Alexandre Mattiussi.
The collection aims to show AMI's vision and future-oriented modern wardrobe, like Alexandre Mattiussi's vision of the streets of Paris, where men and women are comfortable and fashionable, dressed simply and freely.
The relationship between people and clothing is intimate and autonomous, the luxury of clothing itself does not hide the charm of people, people come and go freely under pure light clothing, pragmatic and poetic, and perhaps more importantly, the spontaneous behavior of consciousness, maintaining this exquisite and relaxed state at all times in the moment.
