ALGIERI PARIS is a ready-to-wear brand founded in 2022 by Raphaël Algieri, embodying ' Bunker Couture' —a raw and sophisticated fusion of nocturnal energy, techno, and queer culture. Between elegance and subversion, the brand subverts the codes of the menswear wardrobe to offer a hybrid, sensual, and assertive fashion, where beauty and strangeness collide.
Beyond clothing, ALGIERI PARIS has established itself as a true cultural player. The brand regularly collaborates with artists, designers, and performers from the techno, drag, and underground scenes, affirming its commitment to alternative cultures. By blurring the lines between fashion, music, and performance, it offers a platform for emerging talent and contributes to the development of a free and radical aesthetic.

Why this brand name?

“Algieri is first of all the name of my great grandmother, Filomena Algieri. I wanted to pay tribute to him by wearing this name. She lived in southern Italy in the 1940s and never wanted to get married, which was very frowned upon at the time.
For me, calling my brand ALGIERI PARIS also meant resuming your fight, your audacity and your freedom”

How did ALGIERI PARIS start?

“ALGIERI PARIS is a project that I have had in mind since I was 9 years old, since I knew that I wanted to work in fashion.
It's a bit like my alter ego, who lived and grew up alongside me. When I was little, I dreamed of being able to make princess dresses. Well... this project has changed a lot since I first thought about it.
Growing up, I struggled to find my style among existing fashion brands. I really needed to express this in-between, to create fashion that was neither all black nor all white.”

What words to describe the brand?

It can be described in two words: Bunker & Couture
Since our creation, our mantra has been a combination of words that accurately describes our vision: Bunker and Couture.
“Bunker” evokes the brutal and almost frozen aspect of our creations, using raw materials such as leather, vinyl or denim. This dimension reflects our desire to give a robust and imposing aesthetic to our pieces.
“Couture” refers to our respect for the know-how and heritage of French haute couture. We strive to bring a refined and poetic touch to our creations, honoring traditions while integrating elements of sophistication and delicacy.

What is our philosophy?

ALGIERI PARIS celebrates individuality, creativity and self-expression through a
bold and unconventional aesthetic, while emphasizing ethics and
social responsibility.

What are our inspirations?

The inspirations for our brand are quite diverse, with each collection being influenced by what Raphaël experiences at the time of design.
Each creation tells a unique story, often influenced by significant encounters and personal experiences. Sometimes a captivating film recently seen sparks an idea, or a memorable evening spent the previous weekend triggers a new artistic vision. The work of a visual artist fascinates and inspires, bringing a new dimension to our creations. Even a deeply resonant quote can become the starting point for a new clothing line.
For us, inspiration is a journey, an eclectic and continuous journey, where each element of daily life is transformed into a source of creativity.
