There comes a moment when time stands still. When every detail speaks in whispers and tells a story. This is the essence of a wedding, and the FW 2026 The Muse Within collection was created to capture it. Each gown is a memory, an emotion, and a legacy, stitched into form. In 1840, Queen Victoria transformed bridal fashion with a single choice: a white gown. What was once unconventional became eternal, turning white into the language of purity, romance, and elegance — a legacy that endures to this day. Inspired by this eternal dialogue, The Muse Within is a journey through time. It celebrates royal romance and timeless style, yet draws its true strength from within, where femininity is both delicate and powerful.

The collection features rich lace textures, powerful embroideries, and handcrafted details that reflect the duality of the muse: gentle yet bold, intimate yet universal. Every gown becomes a mirror of the bride’s inner world, inviting her to embrace herself as both the inspiration and the story. As gentle as a passing breeze, every design moves — it touches, it flutters, it lingers — remaining deeply present.

Twelve couture gowns compose the collection, each with its own story and personality. From regal silhouettes that command presence to ethereal creations, every gown bears the signature of Lee Petra Grebenau: meticulous craftsmanship, flawless cuts, and uncompromising quality. Each design offers versatility, conceived to be worn in multiple ways — with veils, overskirts, bodysuits, detachable sleeves, and more.

As Lee Petra Grebenau shares: “Every bride carries a muse inside her. This collection is about giving that muse a voice and letting her beauty and strength unfold through couture.” The Muse Within is a tribute to every bride who carries her own inspiration, a tribute to women who write their own stories.
