Alexandre Mattiussi is lending his creative hand to nostalgic brand K-Way for autumn/winter 2018-2019, with the AMI designer presenting three different windbreaker models: two jackets, 'Claude' and 'Eiffel', and a long water-resistant coat, 'Richard'.

Much like the well-known K-Way iconic jackets seen growing up, the Claude and Eiffel versions fold up and self-store, to be worn cross-body for the more normcore fashion wearer, or slipped inside a bag. 

Available in two colours, red and navy or "France blue" and navy, with a striped hood and vertical striped version in the same colours, the jackets will retail from August 31 in AMI and K-Way stores, as well as the brands' online stores.

"To collaborate with K-Way was an obvious one for me. I have always liked working with brands that I have an emotional connection with, a certain nostalgia. I wore a K-Way when I was young, and I still wear one today. AMI and K-Way share the same values: a relaxed, elegant and easy-to-wear aesthetic," said Alexandre Mattiussi, founder of AMI.
