Renowned for her modern yet timeless aesthetic, designer Amsale Aberra created sophisticated gowns with crisp, clean lines, and figure celebrating silhouettes. Now under the direction of her husband, daughter, and senior design team, Amsale's legacy lives on through her namesake collections. The Amsale collections feature exquisite draping, classic silhouettes, and hand-embroidered embellishments.
Below, the latest collections from Amsale.
Amsale Spring 2022
Presented on April 6, 2021, Amsale's Archive revives five iconic gowns from the fashion house's past three decades of design. "The gowns selected for the Archive collection showcase Amsale's true design philosophy and the power of her simplicity," said chief creative officer Sarah Swann. "Each tells a beautiful story of her craftsmanship and attention to a sole focal point." A portion of the proceeds from each gown sold in this collection will also go toward the Amsale Aspire Initiative at the Fashion Institute of Technology—"a program dedicated to eradicating racism in the fashion industry by providing scholarships and opportunities for Black students to develop entrepreneurial skills and build successful fashion careers."

Amsale Fall 2021
Amsale's Fall 2021 collection focuses on impeccable tailoring, dramatic silhouettes, and pared-back designs. "The collections are very tightly edited, but each piece is special and especially considered for each different bride,” says AMSALE Design Director Margo Lafontaine. “The current times have given extra meaning to getting dressed up—so there’s a little more drama, a little more attention to detail, craft, and texture.” Standouts from this collection include a convertible organza ballgown with a removable bodice overlay, a sculptural one-shoulder gown with an asymmetrical back sash, and a fit-to-flare gown with a plunging neckline.
