Description

Sacred, serene, and powerfully understated, IERIA stands as one of the most emblematic creations from Petra Kara’s Awaken Your Myth collection, unveiled at Athens Fashion Week. Named after the Greek word for “priestess,” the gown channels ancestral femininity — a bride who moves with quiet authority, inner wisdom and timeless grace. It merges modern minimalism with symbolic depth, inviting the bride to step into her own lineage of power.

Design & Silhouette

IERIA features a free-flowing, column-like silhouette crafted from weightless, fluid fabric that drapes effortlessly from the neckline. The high halter neck is adorned with sculptural, gold-toned ornaments — a striking, ceremonial detail that frames the shoulders like sacred adornment.

The fabric falls in soft, uninterrupted lines that evoke ancient temple elegance, creating movement that feels both ethereal and grounded. A subtle side drape adds softness without disrupting the gown’s statuesque simplicity.

Fabric & Craftsmanship

  • Ultra-fluid, lightweight fabric for a goddess-like drape

  • High halter silhouette for an elongated, regal effect
