PARIS, Nov 3, 2005/ FW/ --- Matthew Ames has been creating a buzz in the Paris fashion scene since he was selected as a finalist for the 2004 Festival International des Arts de la Mode a Heyers.

A graduate of The Art Institute of Chicago (2003), he studied in Antwerp, Belgium, interning for designer Jurgi Persoons. Signing his first menswear collection during the Spring / Summer 2005 menswear show in Paris, he debuted his womenswear line the following season, the Fall/Winter 2005 Paris Pręt-a-porter season.

Ames who caught the eyes of the fashionistas with his debut collection continued to gather momentum for his eponymous label last March when he showed his Spring / Summer 2006 collection.

Sending a collection that is architecturally beautiful with a touch of romance, Ames’ clean lines and sharp tailoring put him on the list of names to watch among the emerging designers who showed during the Paris season.

Pencil cut skirts with button accents, generously cut pants sheered at the waist and hem, and his tone-on-tone square neck dresses embellished with lace, Ames Euro-American aesthetics is a nice blend of function and beauty.

Alternating between the bright colors of spring and earth tones, Ames hit the ‘sanity in fashion’ trend right on the mark.
