Refined architectural shaping with versatile, transformative elements set the tone for the latest collections from sister brands Rembo and Marylise, part of the MRFG house. Known for their meticulous craftsmanship and artisan techniques, both labels build on their heritage this season with designs that feel light and allow for freedom and movement.

Collaboration & Creativity 

Rather than following a fixed theme, the collections have been shaped through a fluid and collaborative process. As the fashion house explains: “Each collection begins as a series of ideas, silhouettes, fabrics and emotions, brought together by several designers, each contributing their own inspirations and perspectives. This diversity of creative input gives the collections a rich, layered identity from the very beginning.”

From initial sketches through to fittings and fabric development, each piece evolves gradually within the atelier. Just as importantly, the collections are informed by ongoing conversations with retail partners and shifting market expectations, particularly the growing demand for softer femininity, versatility and naturally flattering silhouettes. “The collections continue to evolve throughout the sales process, as we present them to our retail partners and receive their feedback. This exchange plays an important role in defining the final personality of each collection, which is why the collection name itself is only decided once the identity has fully revealed itself.”

Distinct Visions 

At the heart of both collections is a shared understanding of a bride who values confidence, ease and authenticity. Rembo approaches this with a contemporary, expressive edge. “The collection carries an authentic style infused with feeling and effortless energy, pushing bridal innovation forward through modern silhouettes. It introduces new signature shapes, blending expressive new laces with clean minimalist designs while maintaining the brand’s signature lightness, comfort and versatility.”

This season, the brand explores a broader wardrobe of bridal looks, including a modern trouser option. Signature versatility remains key, with detachable sleeves, capes and jackets allowing brides to adapt their look throughout the day and make it their own.

Marylise, meanwhile, offers a more refined and quietly confident perspective. Defined by clean lines, soft draping and structured yet lightweight construction, the collection feels polished without losing its sense of ease. “The style is sophisticated yet accessible, focusing on natural elegance and sophisticated confidence rather than overt sensuality. The collection embodies timeless romance with a modern perspective, designed for brides who want to feel effortlessly confident.”

Design details such as architectural shaping, romantic bows and dimensional embellishments add interest, while detachable elements and two-piece looks introduce a subtle versatility that feels both modern and wearable.

Fabric & Wearability 

Fabric is central to the identity of both collections, carefully sourced from MRFG’s European suppliers for its ability to balance structure with movement, and visual impact with comfort. For Rembo, texture takes the lead: “From light crepe, chiffon, satin, lace, and embroidered details to new materials such as taffeta, jacquard, organza, and pearl embellishments. These fabrics enhance texture, dimension, and the fluidity of the new silhouettes.”

Marylise takes a more understated approach, working with a refined palette of satin, crepe, chiffon, mikado, taffeta, organza, lace, jacquard and floral applications. “Satin plays a particularly important role this season, returning as a key fabric following strong demand and inspiring new structured yet fluid designs.”

Across both collections, the focus is on how the dresses feel as much as how they look. Careful tailoring, lightweight construction and considered fabric choices ensure each piece moves naturally with the body. Extensive fittings across a range of body types have further refined the fit, resulting in gowns that balance design impact with real comfort. As the team puts it, “The result is a balance between visual impact and practicality, gowns that look sophisticated while allowing the bride to feel at ease and confident.”
