Description
Book SynopsisAn extravagant monument to a unique collaboration in the worlds of art and fashion: the Autumn-Winter 2022 collection of the luxury brand AMIRI, created in partnership with the painter Wes Lang.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, taken specially for the book by the artist duo Hart Lëshkina, go behind the scene
Trade Review"[T]he team-up is more thoroughly chronicled, from initial sketches to candid backstage images to the grand reveal, in the forthcoming
AMIRI Wes Lang. Out next month from Rizzoli, the book consists of a vivid hardcover component plus two booklets that suitably resemble DIY black-and-white punk zines." —ARTNET
