Wearable art from Sydney

ALÉMAIS treats a dress as a canvas. Founded in Sydney in 2020 by Lesleigh Jermanus, the label works with artists and artisans on prints, embroidery and hand-finished details, then cuts them into pieces made to be kept. The edit at OMARIEDEN spans silk twill sets, printed sundresses, lace and beading, and two gowns for the evenings that matter.

Sydney, Australia

Print first, always

Every ALÉMAIS collection starts with artwork: painted, embroidered or drawn by hand, then translated onto silk, cotton and linen.

The Joni silk twill set

Joni is the season's signature print, worked across a scarf-tie blouse, balloon trousers, a midi dress and a camp-collar shirtdress. Wear the pieces together as a set or split them across the week.

Made with care

Slow by design

Small runs, natural fibres and artisan techniques, from hand embroidery to beading, keep every piece close to the artwork it came from.

Lace, beads & silk

Pieces with a little more ceremony: the Francine Beaded Strap Lace Midi, the Tangible Love Silk Scarf Slip, the Paula Racerback Belted Midi and the MLAK Halter Neck Midi.

The ethos

Art you can wear

ALÉMAIS was founded in Sydney in 2020 by Lesleigh Jermanus with a clear idea: fashion made the slow way, in collaboration with artists and craftspeople, on fabrics that feel as good as they look. Prints are commissioned as artworks first; embroidery and beading are done by hand; runs are kept small.

The result is a wardrobe of pieces that carry a story, made to be worn for years and passed on.
