Founder and creative director Alexandre Mattiussi delivers a wardrobe designed to make every woman feel beautiful and every man charismatic in this co-ed collection
How do you solve for chic? For its Fall/Winter 2025 collection, AMI offers a lesson in harmony and subtle finesse. It’s as if elegance took a stroll down the Left Bank, discovered a lovely café, and decided to stay, all while coming up with a way to solve a problem. Numerology is the task at hand, according to founder and creative director Alexandre Mattiussi, and this collection is the solution. There are no elaborate theories or ostentatious flourishes. Just a beautifully calibrated combination of contemporary trends and heritage, with an element of cheerful disposition for good measure.

“2025 carries the energy of the number 9, my lucky number,” he muses. “It embodies boldness and serenity, reflecting the spirit of this collection.” Boldness and serenity is fashion’s favorite oxymoron, and it has never looked so content.
AMI’s shapes are generous yet tailored, emphasizing comfort without sacrificing sophistication. Raw-cut finishes on ample trousers and signature oversized coats are polished, but with just enough imperfection to feel lived-in. Poplin shirts get the Parisian treatment with majestic proportions, untucked hems, and rolled sleeves. It’s carefree but calculated—nonchalance on demand.
In accessories, AMI shows you can have form and function without skewing the equation. The Mimi bag is generous in size but sleek in design, while the Étienne shopper offers everyday versatility in soft leather. Jewelry, ranging from macaron-inspired bangles to tiger-eye-adorned cuffs, injects a whimsicality, and footwear makes strides with thick-soled derbies for men and Dalmatian-print pumps for women. Every piece feels purposeful like it’s meant to solve a sartorial problem you didn’t even know you had.
AMI’s FW25 collection doesn’t just play with opposites; it marries them with finesse. Bold yet serene. Modern yet timeless. Effortlessly chic yet deeply intentional. It’s not overly complicated. And in case you’re still wondering, the math checks out.
