Amiri named formalwear partner of FC Barcelona

Los Angeles-based fashion house Amiri is to design the formal wear of FC Barcelona – the current Spanish Liga 1 champions, and one of the most decorated clubs in the soccer world.

The winner of a record 80 domestic trophies, and of 23 European and worldwide titles, Barcelona is one of the most glamorous clubs on the planet. Its players have won the Ballon d’Or, the most prestigious individual prize in association football, the most for any professional team. Including 12 times for male players – like soccer legends Lionel Messi and Johan Cruyff – and three times for women players.
 
“The Amiri x FC Barcelona partnership begins with the 2024/2025 season, marking the start of an ongoing collaboration between Amiri and FC Barcelona. Both sides view it as a long-term relationship — one rooted in shared values of innovation, craftsmanship, and global excellence,” Amiri told FashionNetwork.com.

Founded in 2014 by Mike Amiri, a Beverly Hills High School graduate, the brand Amiri began specializing in stage outfits for musicians in California, before developing a first capsule collection.
 
By 2018, Amiri began staging runway shows during the Paris menswear season. One year later, Renzo Rosso’s OTB took a minority stake in the LA brand. 
 
By 2020, Amiri had opened its first flagship on Rodeo Drive, Beverly Hills, while Amiri was nominated four times for Menswear Designer of the Year at the annual CFDA Awards in New York.
 
Today, Amiri boasts a network of 31 boutiques, and retails in over 150 sales points in the U.S., Europe, Gulf and Asia.
 
The linkup with Barcelona, “marks the first partnership of its kind for Amiri, uniting with a global icon in sport, and bringing a distinctly Hollywood vision of modern luxury to one of the world’s most celebrated football institutions,” the brand noted.
 
This partnership also unites a 21st-century label and a club with 125 years of history, respecting tradition and heritage.
 
The brand will provide FC Barcelona custom suiting for all players, across both their men’s and women’s teams, alongside club executives and leadership. 
 
“The tailoring created for FC Barcelona is exclusive to the club and will not be available for public sale. Each piece was made-to-measure for the players and staff, combining Amiri’s signature relaxed Californian tailoring with nods to the club’s heritage through custom pinstripe fabrics and deep navy tones,” Amiri told FashionNetwork.com.
 
Inspiration is drawn directly from the colors of the players’ strip. Dressed in rich blue and garnet for over a century, the club is also known as equip blaugrana – the blue and garnet team. Marrying signature Amiri style with the distinct identity of FC Barcelona, for the Winter season Amiri uses the club’s deep navy blue as the primary shade on precisely tailored wool six-button overcoats, as well as tailored jackets – double-breasted for men, single-breasted for women – and gently flared trousers in a fine white-on-navy pinstripe wool. 
 
For summer tailoring, pinstripe also appears on a new shirt-collar classic blouson, an iconic Amiri style inspired by sportswear, translated to formalwear, and here returned to sports, detailed with MA Monogram embroidery on the breast pocket. 
 
Lightweight, sports-silhouette knits with contrast MA Monogram and tonal FC Barcelona embroidery round out the wardrobe for summer, while for winter pinstripe poplin shirts are teamed with a garnet and blue-striped tie and gold bar tie clip.
