Los
Angeles designer Amir has a passion for fashion- bespoke that is.
The
apothesis of style, the late Cary Grant would periodically stroll
into the chic boutique off Mulholland Drive to augment his colourful
collection of cashmere socks. Another of the many Hollywood hierarchy
to frequent the tiny Bel-Air boutique was a certain Governor Reagan
who proceeded to the White House as one of the most stylish Presidents
since John F. Kennedy. Sophia Loren and Liza Minnelli developed
a penchant for the sensual cashmere and alpaca sweaters on display
whilst French Vogue were so impressed with the creative force behind
the store that they christened him a 'Renaissance designer' and
Amir remains the most exclusive of mens' courturiers.
Cut
to an advertisement which appeared on American television recently,
depicting an impeccably dressed man amidst a golden field of wheat.
His darkly handsome features gazed toward a distant place while
his voice, fittingly urbane and exotically accented, recollected
the wisdom of his father who advised when you have a dream, you
must first see it and then it will be realised. Truly a Field of
Dreams, Costner style.
If
the heartfelt simplicity and elegance of this evocative advertisement
echo Amir's philosophy of timeless design and a fashion sensibility
where less is undeniably more, the face and voice depicted are the
embodiment of the Amir style for they belong to the man himself.
