Oh Amsale…how do I love thee? When I think of classic meets couture, my mind immediately flashes to Amsale’s creations. Her runway shows are like a dream with fresh-faced models floating down the runway in one effortlesly sophisticated creation after another.

Seriously, I am hard pressed to come up with another designer that delivers so consistently, season after season with a lineup of timeless gowns. And that is saying something considering she’s been at it for some twenty years now!

Thank you for the great post! You really seemed to have captured Amsale’s aesthetic.
