Who We Are:
AMIRI is a global Californian luxury house, proudly steeped in a sense of authenticity and independence, intrinsically Californian. Rooted in L.A., the brand’s trajectory has followed a clear global strategy, with biannual shows at Paris Fashion Week, a robust international wholesale business, and a growing retail Flagship footprint.
AMIRI’s culture and contemporary vision prioritizes quality, creativity, and innovation in every facet of the business. In 2023, AMIRI appointed Adrian Ward-Rees as Chief Executive Officer to steward the high-demand driven growth, be it through vertical retail or product development, while maintaining brand desirability and quality. Creative Director and Founder Mike Amiri continues to safeguard and shape the artistic vision of the brand and design studio.
As the brand’s presence expands globally and is one of the fastest-growing businesses in the U.S. luxury fashion market, AMIRI is looking for visionary individuals having a creative and an entrepreneurial mindset.
What We Do
Established in 2014 by Mike Amiri, the luxury menswear and womenswear brand, AMIRI, marries refined craftsmanship with the glamor of LA’s authentic skate and street culture.
An LA native, founder Mike Amiri began his career in fashion by handcrafting unique stage pieces for iconic hard rockers such as Axl Rose and Steven Tyler. Eternally intrigued by such dark, heroic figures, his flair for tapping into this rock ‘n’ rock ethos led him to design an exclusive capsule collection for the LA-concept store, Maxfield.
Since this debut collection, Mike established a distinct design signature with his deconstructed, hand-embellished denim jeans, leather jackets, grungy flannel shirting and graphic tee-shirts — all grounded in the nostalgic touchstones of his Californian youth. Early styles, like the MX1 jeans and Bandana Buckle boots, remain the pillars of AMIRI today, and the designer’s nascent DIY sensibility has since evolved into a studied and distinct savoir-faire.
Today, AMIRI presents a collection bi-annually at Paris Fashion Week and is available from some of the most renowned retailers worldwide, such as Barneys, Bergdorf Goodman in New York, Galeries Lafayette in Paris, Selfridges in London and Joyce in Hong Kong. As its global presence grows, AMIRI remains faithful to its roots: each garment is still a labor of love, cut from the finest fabrics, produced in majority in LA, and often even hand-finessed in-house. More recently, production of leathergoods and tailored suiting moved to Italy.
Since 2018, Mike Amiri has been a member of the CFDA. In 2018, he was also nominated for the Swarovski Award for Emerging Talent at the CFDA Fashion Awards and honored with the Emerging Talent Award at the Footwear News Achievement Awards. In 2019, Mike was nominated for the Menswear Designer of the Year at the CFDA Fashion Awards.
