Amiri Styles FC Barcelona in Historic Fashion Partnership

Los Angeles-based fashion house Amiri has officially announced a groundbreaking partnership with FC Barcelona, the reigning Spanish Liga 1 champions and one of the most decorated football clubs globally. This collaboration will see Amiri design the formal wear for the esteemed club, encompassing its players, executives, and leadership. FC Barcelona boasts an unparalleled legacy, holding a record 80 domestic trophies and 23 European and worldwide titles, cementing its status as one of the planet's most glamorous sporting institutions. Its players have collectively won the prestigious Ballon d’Or 15 times – 12 for male players, including legends like Lionel Messi and Johan Cruyff, and three for women players.

The Amiri x FC Barcelona partnership is set to commence with the upcoming 2024/2025 season and is envisioned as a long-term collaboration. Both entities emphasize shared values of innovation, craftsmanship, and a commitment to global excellence. Founded in 2014 by Beverly Hills High School graduate Mike Amiri, the brand initially carved a niche creating stage outfits for musicians in California before expanding into capsule collections. By 2018, Amiri began showcasing runway shows during Paris menswear season, attracting investment from Renzo Rosso’s OTB, which took a minority stake in 2019. In 2020, Amiri opened its first flagship store on Rodeo Drive in Beverly Hills and earned four nominations for Menswear Designer of the Year at the CFDA Awards. Today, Amiri operates 31 boutiques and is retailed in over 150 sales points across the U.S., Europe, the Gulf, and Asia.

This strategic alliance marks a significant milestone for Amiri, representing its first partnership with a global icon in sport. The brand aims to infuse a distinct Hollywood vision of modern luxury into one of the world's most celebrated football institutions. The collaboration respectfully bridges a 21st-century fashion label with a club steeped in 125 years of rich history and tradition. Amiri will provide custom suiting for all FC Barcelona players, spanning both their men's and women's teams, in addition to club executives and leadership.

The formal wear tailored for FC Barcelona is exclusive to the club and will not be made available for public sale. Each piece is meticulously made-to-measure for the players and staff, seamlessly blending Amiri's signature relaxed Californian tailoring with thoughtful nods to the club’s illustrious heritage. This is achieved through custom pinstripe fabrics and deep navy tones, drawing direct inspiration from the club's iconic "blaugrana" colors – rich blue and garnet, which have adorned its players for over a century and define the team's identity.

For the Winter collection, Amiri expertly marries its distinctive style with FC Barcelona's identity. The club’s deep navy blue serves as the primary shade across precisely tailored wool six-button overcoats, as well as tailored jackets—double-breasted for men and single-breasted for women. These are complemented by gently flared trousers crafted from a fine white-on-navy pinstripe wool. Completing the winter wardrobe are pinstripe poplin shirts, paired with a sophisticated garnet and blue-striped tie, fastened with a gold bar tie clip.

The Summer tailoring introduces a pinstripe design on a new shirt-collar classic blouson, an iconic Amiri style influenced by sportswear and reinterpreted for formalwear, now returning to its sports roots. This piece is elegantly detailed with MA Monogram embroidery on the breast pocket. Lightweight, sports-silhouette knits further round out the summer collection, featuring contrast MA Monogram and tonal FC Barcelona embroidery, ensuring a cohesive and stylish formal wardrobe for the club year-round.
