AMIRI’s Spring/Summer 2026 collection takes place within the sun-drenched grounds of the imagined Chateau AMIRI — a conceptual hotel blending cinematic glamor, artistic spirit and cultural convergence. Inspired by the hotel as a meeting place for diverse identities, Mike Amiri builds on last season’s nightlife at Club AMIRI and shifts to a softer, brighter chapter: the morning after. Here, loungewear merges with refined tailoring, capturing the easy luxury and intimacy of hotel life. Monogrammed robes, slippers and tassel-adorned details nod to grand hotel traditions. Meanwhile, silhouettes evoke a relaxed Riviera elegance.
A key source of inspiration is artist Wes Lang, whose time in Room 34 of the Chateau Marmont spurred a visual dialogue between interior and exterior, stillness and movement. Lang’s bird motifs, originally inked on hotel stationery, appear as embroidery and jacquard, fluttering through botanical beading that entwines nature and nostalgia.
This poetic dialogue continues through the collection’s styling, where silk smoking jackets, feather embellishments and ruffled tuxedo shirts convey the duality of dressed-up ease. This serves as a reflection of AMIRI’s Los Angelean ethos, where vintage glamor and contemporary cool seamlessly coexist. The palette is light-infused and sun-bleached, a cocktail of mint, raspberry, pale blue, gold and green — echoing the palette of a life lived under clear skies.
Womenswear takes on expanded elegance with open-knit gowns, jewel-toned silk tailoring, and delicate lace inserts that nod to lingerie. Accessories, like the newly introduced Honey bag in crocodile-embossed suede and soft leather, and slipper-inspired moccasins, reinforce the collection’s relaxed opulence. Presented at Le Carreau du Temple – reimagined as the lush courtyard of Chateau AMIRI with bubbling fountains and cascading greenery – the show embodies the house’s creative heart: a place where distinct personas cross paths, and disparate styles harmoniously meet.
