After hosting China’s first fashion show in Shanghai in 2019, AMI released its new 2024 Fall/Winter collections in Suzhou, Jiangsu province last week, marking a milestone by showcasing on the historical Xiangmen Wall.

Alexandre Mattiussi, creative director and founder of AMI, says that “the growth of AMI owes so much to the support of our enthusiastic friends in China and Asia, and this repeat show was our way to express our gratitude,” says Santi-Weil.
