The fashion house Ami Paris has announced a new partnership, naming actor and singer Zhou Yiran as its Global Ambassador. This move feels like a natural progression, the formalizing of a connection years in the making.

The brand cites a long friendship with the artist, suggesting this alliance was built on a foundation of genuine affinity rather than fleeting trend. Zhou Yiran appears to be a clear match for the label’s ethos. His personal approach (a certain relaxed and carefree elegance) aligns directly with the creative vision of founder Alexandre Mattiussi.

In a statement, Zhou Yiran expressed his enthusiasm, calling Ami a brand he “truly adores.” He highlighted its embodiment of “love, friendship and inclusivity,” describing the brand itself as feeling like “a friend in life.” This points to a partnership based on shared values, with the artist looking forward to creating “joyful and free-spirited” fashion in the future.

This decision also reflects a clear strategy for the French label. Already established in China, Ami Paris leverages Zhou Yiran’s significant profile to deepen its roots in the market. Through an artist known for his roles in popular television dramas like A Little Mood for Love and When I Fly Towards You, the brand can connect with its Chinese audience in a more personal way.
