KYHA x Sphere Collective: A collaborative collection
The KYHA x Sphere Collection beautifully showcases how designers and stylists can collaborate to create something with raw authenticity that otherwise would not have existed.
Driven by a growing sense that brides, both from KYHA and Sphere collective were seeking more elevated, cutting edge, and detailed options, Kyha and Sarah felt that together it was the perfect opportunity to create. Both Kyha and Sarah have described the collection as the perfect marriage of the unexpected and the timeless, fusing of cutting edge and etherealism. Both designers love the juxtaposition used in each gown with the collection incorporating combinations of corsetry and draping, lace and boning, beading and structure, flowing fabric and intricate detailing.

Whilst Kyha and I draw from different inspiration we found we had a common aesthetic that complimented each other and we knew would translate into a beautiful collection of gowns. Sarah McCarthy
