A 2026 SS Bridal Collaboration
Modern bridal fashion has quietly entered a new era.
Today’s bride is no longer defined by tradition alone. She seeks something that reflects her individuality — a gown that feels architectural yet effortless, and jewelry that enhances rather than overwhelms.

Few designers capture this spirit as clearly as Juliette Kim, the founder of NEWHITE.
After studying fashion design at the Fashion Institute of Technology in New York, Juliette Kim gained valuable experience working with renowned fashion houses including Donna Karan, Narciso Rodriguez, Yigal Azrouël, and Cushnie. These formative years shaped her understanding of modern tailoring, proportion, and the quiet power of refined design.
But the vision behind NEWHITE was born from a deeply personal moment.
While searching for her own wedding dress, Juliette realized how difficult it was to find a gown that felt both modern and comfortable — something that truly reflected the way contemporary women live and move. This experience led her to create NEWHITE, a bridal label known for sculptural silhouettes, fluid satin draping, and a modern minimalist aesthetic.
NEWHITE gowns are often described as effortless, yet their elegance lies in precise construction and thoughtful restraint.
Where Modern Structure Meets Expressive Jewelry
At Jiyoung Kang Studio, bridal jewelry follows a similarly thoughtful approach.
The studio curates and creates pieces crafted by skilled Korean artisans, bringing Korean handmade craftsmanship into the global bridal scene. Many designs focus on capturing light through crystal elements, creating a luminous effect that enhances a bride’s natural glow.
But modern bridal styling is not limited to delicate minimalism.
Alongside refined pieces, the studio also embraces bold and avant-garde jewelry — statement earrings that introduce scale, movement, and sculptural drama. These designs can transform a minimalist gown into a striking fashion moment.
In this way, jewelry becomes more than an accessory.
It becomes a finishing element that completes the visual language of the bridal look.
A Special Styling Collaboration for 2026 SS
For the 2026 Spring/Summer bridal season, NEWHITE and Jiyoung Kang Studio come together in a special collaboration celebrating the modern bride.
Brides who purchase a 2026 SS NEWHITE bridal gown will have the opportunity to pair their dress with a signature Jiyoung Kang Studio statement earring, carefully styled to complement the architectural elegance of NEWHITE designs.
The selected piece reflects the spirit of this collaboration — balancing structure with light, minimalism with expressive detail.
While NEWHITE gowns provide the refined foundation of the look, the earrings introduce movement and brilliance, creating a bridal moment that feels both contemporary and unforgettable.
The Freedom of the Modern Bride
The beauty of modern bridal style lies in its freedom.
A bride may choose a sculptural satin gown defined by clean architectural lines.
She may pair it with delicate jewelry that softly reflects the light.
Or she may complete the look with a bold avant-garde earring that becomes the focal point of the entire ensemble.
Designers like Juliette Kim are redefining what bridal fashion can be — thoughtful, modern, and deeply personal.
At Jiyoung Kang Studio, that same philosophy continues through handcrafted jewelry that celebrates individuality and craftsmanship.
Because the most memorable bridal look is never simply about the dress.
It is about the harmony between silhouette, movement, and light.
And above all, it is about a bride who feels completely herself.
