For Alexandre Mattiussi, simplicity isn’t just a principle — it’s a signature, and his F/W 25 collection for AMI Paris effortlessly reinforces his mastery of understated elegance. Set against the soulful, romantic sounds of American saxophonist Caleb Arredondo, the show immediately transported the audience into a moody, intimate atmosphere. Iselin Steiro, who recently starred in the brand’s S/S 25 campaign, fittingly opened the co-ed show cast by Piergiorgio Del Moro. Styled by Carlos Nazario, the collection showcased a classic yet modern color palette, featuring earthy tones like olive green, honey gold, and deep charcoal. The tailoring, a cornerstone of Mattiussi’s work, took center stage with oversized silhouettes and sharp cuts. Asymmetrical draping added a subtle touch of unpredictability to otherwise classic pieces. Highlights included silk turtleneck blouses and dresses that exuded a refined sensuality, double-breasted coats perfect for the modern wardrobe, and a sleek top-handle bag with an envelope flap. Liya Kebede brought the show to a close, embodying the understated sophistication that defines Mattiussi’s vision. The collection embodied the kind of versatility that transitions effortlessly from day to night, showcasing that sometimes true impact doesn’t rely on excess but on craftsmanship and thoughtful design.
