Valentin Humbroich Brings Supermodel Ease to Ami d’été
This generation’s new crop of supermodels was born in the mid-to-late 2010s, and among the faces still strutting strong nearly a decade later is the one and only Valentin Humbroich.
The German supermodel fronts Ami Paris’ Ami d’été Summer 2026 campaign, photographed by Victor Brun and styled by Javier De Pardo.
Ami d’été travels to the South of France for a sun-drenched wardrobe built around friendship, leisure and the simple pleasure of being somewhere fabulous with nowhere urgent to go.
Valentin Humbroich moves through vintage-inspired polos, bowling shirts, relaxed trousers, striped swim shorts, lightweight separates and easy monochromatic looks designed for long Mediterranean days.
The campaign understands Valentin’s particular supermodel magic. He can make a structured look feel entirely relaxed, then turn around and sell boxer shorts, a striped towel and a pair of sneakers as though he has just invented summer vacation.
Victor Brun photographs the campaign against open water, whitewashed walls, colorful kayaks and warm coastal light. The images carry the softness of holiday snapshots while remaining polished enough for the Ami Paris world.
Styling by Javier De Pardo keeps the wardrobe casual without letting it become forgettable. Color-blocked bowling shirts, striped rugby polos, cream trousers, short shorts and bright tees give the campaign enough personality to move beyond standard resort dressing.
The Mirage sneaker returns as one of the campaign’s central accessories, slung over Valentin’s shoulder beside a striped beach towel in the kind of image that practically announces the vacation has already started.
A royal blue “Thank You for Being a Friend” tee from Ami’s 15th-anniversary capsule also appears, carrying forward founder Alexandre Mattiussi’s long-running belief that the brand should feel grounded in friendship, warmth and human connection.
And then there is Valentin himself. Part of the model generation that arrived during the fashion-blog and social-media shift of the 2010s, he remains one of the faces still booking major campaigns, lookbooks and editorials nearly a decade later.
That longevity matters. Pretty new faces arrive every season, but a real supermodel learns how to keep the camera interested after the initial discovery moment has passed. Valentin has done exactly that.
For Ami Paris Summer 2026, the assignment is simple: look handsome, relaxed and completely unbothered beneath the Mediterranean sun. Naturally, Valentin Humbroich handles it like the seasoned supermodel he is.
