Overview

Rooted in the culture of Los Angeles the place both designer and artist call home AMIRI s Autumn-Winter 2022 collection is an exploration of the city s aesthetic heritage. Mixing high with low, extravagance with subtlety, the collection reflects the intersection of worlds rock, skate, luxe, craft, art, glam that defines Los Angeles style. Throughout the collection, Wes Lang s painterly interventions introduce elements of subversion and energy to AMIRI s pieces. The book meticulously documents the creative process, from the design of key silhouettes to the hand-painting of original works onto individual garments. Hundreds of photographs go behind the scenes in AMIRI s atelier and Lang s studio, revealing the collection s evolution from sketches to clothing and finally to the star-studded runway show, cinematically illuminated with Lang s artwork, at which the line debuted in the spring of 2022. Elaborately designed by the photographers and art directors Hart Leshkina, and with texts by fashion editor Dan Thawley and art critic Andrew Berardini alongside the voices of Mike Amiri and Wes Lang, this book is a testament to the power of collaboration and an impressive record of an iconic moment in contemporary art and fashion.
