AMIR
Avocado
Our eyes met by chance, in front of a counter at the Enfants Rouges market. But in reality, it was his pants that first caught our attention: a camouflage pattern but “upgraded” with gold threads.
When Amir, who is a lawyer, was asked about his style, he said: “For me, fashion is about expressing who you are; it is not a way of affirming belonging to this or that tribe. I want to escape the normal and the everyday,” says Amir, who only follows one rule: never wear jeans!
What inspires him is exoticism. The Orient in general and Japan in particular. A country whose silk fabrics enchant him. As for shoes, he likes sleepers “because they’re as comfortable as slippers”.
As for the favorite brands of this Parisian, recently returned from New York, it is that of Haider Ackermann, the god of sensual purity, followed by Rick Owens whose minimalism Amir appreciates.
A recent Marais resident, he feels good in the Marais which reminds him a little of Greenwich Village in New York, intimate and cosmopolitan at the same time. “Despite the crowds, people know each other, greet each other, smile at each other” Yes, the Marais is a village!

The best tattoo parlors in Marais
Tattooing, an age-old practice, has long been the prerogative of convicts, dock workers, the underworld and sailors. Although it has become democratized, now affecting all profiles and concerning one in five French people, including 16% women compared to 10% men, it still remains taboo due to its definitive and transgressive nature.
