AMI by Alexandre Mattiussi
June 4, 2013 I don't normally gush about men's fashion, but during our recent trip to Paris, I discovered Alexandre Mattiussi's AMI boutique in the upper Marais area. The store opened last December and has become all the rage amongst the fashion world. If only they carried women's wear!

I fell in love with everything - each piece was so wearable, understated, and effortlessly chic. The linen sports jackets and linen slub pullovers were my absolute favorites. Prices were very reasonable, and if you know of Matiussi's background at Givenchy and Dior, you'll soon recognize the exceptional fit in his casual wear collection. The friendly staff will also help you pick the best styles to fit your body frame.

Barneys New York carries several pieces from AMI, but styles and colors are limited. Right now, Barneys is having a 40% sale, which is perfect for Father's Day gifts.
If you're lucky enough to in Paris, do yourself a favor and get some seasonal essentials. The Marais boutique has the best selection and prices, and you'll also get a 12% VAT refund. In any case, it's a must-do for any fashion-conscious guy in your life.
