Welcome To Prea James Collection
Founded in 2012, Prea James began as a Sydney-based couture label and has grown into one of Australia's most distinctive bridal names. Designing from her Wollongong studio on the country's east coast, Prea creates every gown on home soil. With an aesthetic of understated elegance, clean lines, unfaltering fit, and hand finishes that quietly elevate each piece. Drawing on the belief that simplicity is the ultimate sophistication, she designs for the relaxed modern bride: fashionable, unique, and unafraid to do things her own way.
A Prea James woman is quietly confident. She loves considered design, values quality over trend, and carries an easy eco-consciousness in the choices she makes. She doesn't follow the moment, she sets it, effortlessly and on her own terms.

A sculptural and textural dream, the Gianna Gown speaks to effortlessly cool bridal fashion.
Crafted from lustrous Silk Dupion that is carefully draped by hand, she features a corseted bodice and a straight neckline. Gianna sculpts the waist and gently hugs the figure with a subtly sultry column skirt that is finished with a centre-back split in place of a train for an extra touch of contemporary bliss.
Relaxed, fully detachable sleeves not only bring an element of effortless drama to Gianna, but a smooth transition from ceremony to reception. For the bride looking to emphasise understated elegance, Gianna may also be ordered without sleeves.
Gianna is a chic silhouette perfect for an understated soiree and where luxury meets modern simplicity.
