Inspired by the sleek style and potent architecture of New York City, Amsale presents ‘American Metropolitan’, its 2013 Fall/Winter offering. Ultra feminine bustiers, short, Hitchcock-esque tea lengths and pretty polished peplums made up this refined collection, in the timeless yet modern style typical of the Ethiopian born Amsale Aberra. A romantic side came to the fore through sumptuous laces and fanciful florals, while sophisticated silhouettes were given a sexy edge with exposed keyhole backs and oversized origami-style bows.
The distinguished Amsale maintains is reputation for chic, elegant, modern styling with American Metropolitan, a mantra held close to many power dressers of NYC who aren’t afraid to show a soft and feminine side. We defy you to take a look at these and not imagine one supremely smartly dressed Olivia Palermo strutting up the aisle in one of these beautiful creations! (Wow. Let’s take a second to image how chic that wedding will be!)
