Anne Barge 25th Anniversary at NY Bridal Fashion Week
Welcome to 25 years of Anne Barge. On October 8th we celebrated this significant milestone during NY Bridal Fashion week with a celebration at 9 Orchard Hotel.
We unveiled our highly anticipated 25th Anniversary Collection showcasing timeless elegance, with gowns that honor the brand's legacy and contemporary progression, capturing the essence of classic American style. We also revealed our new Bridal Shoe line. A collection of exquisitely crafted wedding shoes designed to complement Anne Barge gowns arriving in stores, Spring 2025.
This collection is not only a reflection of our legacy but also a celebration of the modern bride—confident, feminine, elegant, and unafraid to express her individuality. Each gown is designed to unveil not just timeless elegance, but also the joyful celebration of love and union that is at the heart of every wedding.
Luxurious fabrics transforms traditional silhouettes into modern masterpieces. Italian Radzmir and Mikado Scuba create a striking foundation, providing structure and sophistication, while the ethereal qualities of Tulle and Organza offer a lightness that captures the essence of romance. Floral patterns take center stage in our collection, with nearly every gown adorned in intricate designs that breathe life and vitality into the fabrics.
In celebration of the 25th Anniversary of Anne Barge, Anne Barge Clegg made a generous contribution to the University of Georgia, demonstrating her commitment to helping students realize their dreams.
Beginning in the Fall of 2026, the archives of Anne Barge gowns and materials will be showcased at the University of Georgia Special Collections Library, enhancing the historic clothing and textile collection within the College of Family and Consumer Sciences. In recognition of this contribution, the Anne Barge Archives will be renamed the Anne Barge Historic Clothing Collection. This initiative will greatly enrich the university’s teaching, education, and research programs for aspiring designers.
