AMIRI Custom Performance Look for Black Coffee

In honor of Grammy Award winning producer and DJ Black Coffee playing his largest US show to date as he headlines Madison Square Garden, he wears custom AMIRI hand beaded and embroidered shirt, and cropped double pleated pant with jacquard motif. The embroidered shirt was inspired by ‘The Pyramids’ an art piece created by South African artist Wonderbuhle. A work commissioned by Black Coffee that pays homage to the three women who raised him, his mother and two grandmothers. Beaded in Mumbai, India and constructed in Italy. The shirt uses fine viscose yarns to create the delicate draping shown on the garment. All hand stitched by needle and thread; the piece was skillfully done utilizing the Zardozi technique. Delicate threadwork juxtaposed with chunky cut beads and metallic bullions to accentuate and highlight the embroidery. The fringes are deconstructed weaves of the fabric, hand-knotted into tassels, before the carefully curated embroidery was mounted on the base to create a raised effect.
