Amid the Parisian heatwave, AMI introduced its Spring/Summer ‘27 collection, in which smart dressing was styled with relaxed codes to create the quintessential wardrobe of modern Parisian style. Honouring its beginnings, which date back 15 years, the collection centred around the white shirt, the canvas from which the label was born and the foundation of the aesthetic that became its signature.
A juxtaposition between urban wear and corporate wear, formal and informal, was present throughout the show. Some outfits felt corporate, while others evoked a Friday-night mood and relaxed Sunday vibes.
Bermudas were mixed with workwear pieces. Slip dresses were styled with shirts, ties, and trousers. Oversized, laid-back fits ran throughout the collection. Windbreakers were styled with sequin skirts. Some looks were playful and broke the commercial nature of the collection, such as skirts resembling buttoned-up shirts tied around the hips. Low-rise pants appeared in both menswear and womenswear looks, creating a youthful and sensual aesthetic, strongly coded with Y2K influences. Mini and pencil skirts were central, reinforcing a feminine aesthetic.
Signature to the brand, the coats were tailored, structured, and long, crafted in lightweight fabrics and leather. The colour palette ranged from earthy tones to vibrant yellows and blues, with red accents throughout. Breaking with the natural harmony of the body, some looks played with proportions, creating an aura full of personality and strength.
