As an iconic and deeply Parisian brand, it’s only natural that Alexandre Mattiusi’s shows for Ami have taken place at locations all over the legendary city, ranging from venues like the Musée des Arts Décoratifs to the Palais de Tokyo to the banks of the Seine. Each year, the designer finds a new way to showcase the city’s beauty alongside the splendor of his own designs.

Recently, Alexandre Mattiussi opted to present the Ami Men's Spring/Summer 2025 collection in the immense halls of Paris’ Tennis Club, a beautiful playground for someone who likes to put fashion on stage, with plenty of space for a cinema set (as he recently explained in the documentary dedicated to him on Paris Première). This year’s location–kept secret until the very last minute of course–was the object of much speculation. Would he invite guests to his home and finally give eager viewers a chance to see the construction site of his next “Chez moi,” as the fashion house's latest Instagram post suggested? The concept seemed a little less outlandish after Rick Owens and Pieter Mulier conducted full-blown shows from the comfort of their own homes in recent years. Instead, the creative director opted to hold the show at the construction site of a soon-to-be luxury hotel on 288 Boulevard Saint-Germain.

Although guests did not receive a sneak peek into Matiussi’s undoubtedly beautiful house, this venue, in between built and destroyed, turned out to be the dream scenario for a proper demolition party and Mattiussi had a field day: he completely forced the deconstruction and relaxation of his silhouettes, right down to the accessories, shoes, and bags. Chipped concrete and peeling walls provided excellent contrast to the collection’s unbothered confidence, which was conveyed not in its colors or accessories, but in its relaxed styling and practical materials.

A surplus of antique fixtures and mirrors also added intrigue to the show, with items like out-of-use, ornate fireplaces, and illustrious mirrors balanced against the walls for a whimsical deconstructed look. Slit dresses, oversized suit jackets, and elegantly tailored button-downs took the main stage. The overall look was irresistibly laid back, with plunging necklines and unbuttoned collars alongside simple loafers and sophisticated sandals resulting in a superb collection that was unequivocally balanced in terms of its understated elegance and vintage-inspired grandeur—overall, an extremely appealing collection to menswear shoppers in the market for relaxed warm-weather sartorial staples.
