A new chapter of KYHA has arrived at Marrime - and it feels like a particularly exciting moment for modern bridal.
The Melbourne fashion house has always occupied a world of its own. Its gowns are clean but never quiet, dramatic without relying on ornament, and designed with the same attention to cut, proportion and movement that you would expect from ready-to-wear fashion. For brides planning a 2027 wedding, the latest arrivals offer a fresh way to think about what a wedding dress can be: sculptural, sensual, directional and still entirely timeless.
•
KYHA describes its aesthetic through “sleek minimalism, innovatory detailing and flawless execution”. That idea runs through every part of the collection now at Marrime, from draped satin and modern corsetry to lace stripped back to its most confident form.
The August Edition: a new expression of the KYHA signature
KYHA’s latest August Edition distils the brand’s current direction into two gowns, Ellery and Iver. The mood is precise and assured: pared-back necklines, controlled structure and draping that feels effortless because every fold has been considered.
Iver is the link between the August Edition and the wider KYHA collection at Marrime. Its structured scoop neckline draws the eye to the waist before the silhouette follows the body into a fit-and-flare skirt. Directional draping across the bodice softens that architecture, creating the tension KYHA handles so well: control and ease, simplicity and impact.
Around Iver, our newest 2026 arrivals show just how broad the KYHA vocabulary has become. These are four very different gowns, but each is unmistakably connected by confident construction and a point of view.
Mimi: lace, with a new attitude
Mimi is proof that lace can feel modern, clean and quietly provocative. A corseted bodice is overlaid with corded lace, with a scalloped edge tracing the strapless neckline. From there, the lace falls into a fluid draped skirt, with the scallop returning around the hem and train.
The chiffon underlay gives the gown softness without taking away its definition. The result is romantic, but never overly sweet: a lace wedding dress for the bride who wants texture and intricacy while keeping the silhouette spare. We especially love Mimi for a city celebration, an art-filled venue or an elegant country-house wedding where the contrast between old surroundings and contemporary styling can really sing.
Archer: draping becomes the statement
Archer brings KYHA’s approach to draping into sharp focus. Its soft scoop neckline sits above a longline, structured corset, while directional folds shape the bodice and continue more loosely through the waist. A column skirt and full train keep the line long and clean.
Cut in matte triacetate, Archer has a modern, almost liquid quality without the high shine of satin. It celebrates the body through construction rather than exposure, making it a powerful choice for brides who want a fitted wedding dress that still feels sophisticated and composed. Every angle reveals another detail, yet the overall impression remains effortless.
Preston: a modern ode to ceremony
Preston is the gown for a bride who wants scale. Its strapless bodice has a softly shaped neckline and structural draping through the front, flowing into an architectural dropped waist and a full skirt with internal netting for volume. The showstopping train gives Preston its sense of theatre.
Crafted in Grace Satin, it draws on the grandeur of traditional ballgowns but removes the formality that can make them feel distant. The draping is relaxed, the proportions are bold and the finish is exceptionally clean. Preston feels made for a long aisle, a sweeping staircase or an entrance that deserves its own moment.
Nia: irreverent glamour, perfected
Nia offers a different kind of drama. Cut from sleek double satin, its highly structured bodice is wrapped with close draping and finished with an off-shoulder neckline. The fit-and-flare skirt follows the silhouette before extending into a floor-sweeping train.
There is something cinematic about Nia, but its strength comes from restraint. The exposed shoulders, close fit and uninterrupted satin keep the look direct and modern. For a bride who wants glamour without embellishment, it is an extraordinary proposition.
The icons that complete the KYHA story
Newness is only part of the reason this is such an exciting time to discover KYHA at Marrime. Our Jesmond boutique also holds a considered edit of the gowns that have established the house’s modern bridal language: Eaton, Iver, Ellery, Duke, Elm and Winton.
•
Across these designs, you will find the codes KYHA returns to again and again: sculpted corsetry, asymmetric drape, confident necklines and silhouettes that make minimalism feel anything but safe. The collection is broad enough to move from the statuesque fit of Duke and the body-conscious sculpture of Winton to the clarity of Eaton and the understated impact of Elm and Ellery.
•
We also carry KYHA separates, opening up another way to approach bridal dressing. Separates can create a ceremony look with the authority of a gown while allowing a bride to change the mood later in the day. They are ideal for someone drawn to the idea of a wedding wardrobe rather than one fixed look.
Make the look your own
The final layer is styling. KYHA’s veils and finishing pieces are designed to work across the collection, which means the same gown can be taken in several different directions.
Acton brings floral, vintage-inspired lace to a clean silhouette. Edith adds a lace edge with softness and detail. Sheath is modern and minimal, while the Bardot Sheath and Hepburn veils alter the framing and proportion of the look. For something more unexpected, the Sutton necktie introduces a sharp, fashion-led finish.
Trying these pieces together is where the collection comes alive. A veil can soften a structured gown; lace can add tension to satin; a necktie can make a traditional silhouette feel editorial. There is no single prescribed pairing. The most compelling KYHA look is the one that feels specific to the woman wearing it.
Discover KYHA at Marrime
KYHA began with a desire to offer an alternative to traditional bridal, and that spirit is still visible in every new release. These are gowns for women who care about fashion, but who also want to feel entirely themselves on their wedding day.
Mimi, Archer, Preston and Nia are now available to discover at Marrime alongside our wider edit of KYHA gowns, separates, veils and accessories. During a bridal appointment in our light-filled Jesmond boutique, your stylist will help you explore silhouette, fabric and styling until the complete look feels right.
