The Lineage of Designers
After Amsale Aberra's passing, Mihca Cho emerged as a trailblazer, stepping into the role of leading the Amsale Collection. Mihca’s creative journey was profoundly influenced by his collaboration with one of the most iconic fashion visionaries of our era: Alexander McQueen. This partnership undoubtedly left an indelible imprint on Cho's artistic sensibilities. He eloquently describes his Haute Couture style as embodying a "romantic dualism," a concept that encapsulates a captivating juxtaposition of elements.
In Cho's designs, we traverse a realm crafted from dreams, mythology, traditions, and emotions. Each piece intricately weaves together these diverse influences, resulting in creations that evoke a sense of wonder and enchantment. Cho's ability to blend disparate themes and motifs into cohesive narratives speaks to his artistic prowess and deep understanding of the intricacies of haute couture.
