Complex Style's Fashion Week Report Card: Amiri

Another show, another grade. Amiri presented its SS26 show in Paris yesterday in a stunning space filled with models in ‘70s & ‘80s-inspired suits, new explorations with fabrics, and even a Steve Harvey appearance.

Here’s our official grades for Amiri Spring/Summer 2026.

Mike Amiri designed a collection based on the variety of outfits you would see roaming the grounds of a luxury hotel in the ’70s or ’80s. The opulent looks, which included casual suits with big lapels, bedazzled knit polos, and silky pajamas, immediately brought to mind the wardrobes of iconic kingpins like Tony Montana and Sam Rothstein. The womenswear scattered throughout the show was more inconsistent. –Mike DeStefano, Senior Style Editor

Mike Amiri has always prioritized show music, often integrating live performances into the show. DJ Premier scratched records alongside a live band for his Fall 2023 show, for example. And while the music was bright, totally appropriate for a resort, it just lacked the excitement the show music provided in previous seasons. –Aria Hughes, Editor-in-Chief

The team transformed Le Carreau du Temple into Chateau Amiri with a babbling water fountain, a runway made of stone pebbles, and greenery snaking up columns. You immediately felt transported into a different world that was calming, elevated, and ‘White Lotus’-ish. –Aria Hughes, Editor-in-Chief

Scanning the venue revealed rappers like 2 Chainz and Westside Gunn, athletes like Russell Westbrook and Alvin Kamara, and everyone’s new favorite Amiri muse, Steve Harvey. It perfectly articulated the wide scope of customers that the brand has catered to since its inception. –Mike DeStefano, Senior Style Editor
