AMIRI presents High-Summer 2026 through the concept of a continuous season in California, where summer spans time and place. The collection moves across the state to Palm Springs, a destination long associated with sunlight, privacy and Hollywood escapism. This arrangement determines the direction of the collection, which is shaped by the people who pass it and the visual codes they leave behind.
Palm Springs provides both context and structure. Its mid-century modern architecture and manicured lawns are set in the Colorado desert, creating a setting that feels removed from the routine. The location has influenced generations of creatives, offering a space where perspective changes. AMIRI uses this environment to frame a collection based on light, movement and a specific approach to clothing drawn from references to California.
The collection is developed through a focused interpretation of American sportswear. Clothes take familiar forms and refine them through proportion and material. Tailoring shapes the silhouette, with close-fitting pieces that follow the body. High waisted trousers, slim knit shirts and fitted dresses create a solid line in both menswear and womenswear.
Color plays a central role, drawn from desert and ambient tones. The palette includes sky blue, yellow and a range of neutral shades, from chocolate to beige and beige. These tones reflect the effect of sunlight on surfaces, where color softens and shifts over time.
The striped patterns refer to the furniture found in Palm Springs hotels, which appear on the restrained garments. The AMIRI MA monogram is incorporated into the towel, adding texture without disrupting the overall direction. Accessories extend the same approach, with Sunset sunglasses featuring a sleek aviator shape with gold detailing.
Silk and cotton are the base, chosen for their response to heat and movement. Crochet appears in key pieces such as tennis dresses and polo shirts, adding texture while maintaining the direction of the collection. Leather elements, such as crocodile-embossed belts, contrast the surface. Embroidered monograms and gold studs and buttons give focal points to all the outfits.
AMIRI High-Summer 2026 presents a controlled interpretation of seasonal dressing, rooted in California references and refined through design decisions that emphasize form, surface and environment.
