Tucked between two Bushwick apartment buildings sits the Madison Square Association Garden, last week the setting for the latest collection from the local fashion label Amehl SS23, titled “The Prophecy” and coming from the mind of designer Amanda Mehl.

Some highlights from Mehl’s previous shows have included: a long table filled with pastries and jewels, the centerpiece of her show “How to Keep Your Husband” ; a mock awards show where models received trophies dressed in her “193^rd Annual Amehl Gala Celebration” collection; a back-to-school-themed season where her entire show took place inside a school bus. 

Her most recent act had started on the web before it reached the garden: Mehl and her mom, Beverly Mehl, had created a talk show, where the younger Mehl would appear as a guest.
