About the brand

Alémais is a contemporary Australian fashion brand founded by Lesleigh Jermanus in 2020, who brings over 20 years of industry experience including her tenure as head designer at Zimmermann. Drawing on her Lebanese heritage, Jermanus creates vibrant resort wear characterized by original prints, eclectic patterns, and a distinctive high-octane color palette that has quickly earned cult status among fashion enthusiasts worldwide. The brand champions artisanal craftsmanship and sustainable practices, collaborating with skilled craftspeople globally to create pieces using low-impact textiles, organic materials, and traditional techniques passed down through generations. With classical silhouettes given a contemporary lens, Alémais encourages freedom of expression through hand-crafted embroideries, natural fibers, and exaggerated shapes. The label gained significant recognition by winning Australia's National Designer Award in 2022 and achieving widespread visibility through featured pieces in HBO's "The White Lotus," cementing its reputation as a coveted destination for sophisticated, joy-infused fashion.

What people are saying

Marie Claire

The feedback we receive again and again is that people feel good wearing Alémais... We design for the spirited individual. She's a modern romantic with a spirit of adventure, but above all she's looking to build her wardrobe with pieces that bring a little bit of magic to getting dressed.

The meticulous craftsmanship and savoir-faire that went into designing each piece is also apparent to see... but unlike couture, Alémais' pieces are very much on the more affordable end of the spectrum.

I love Leo Lin and I was looking at Alémais earlier. I wish I felt more free to choose, because if I'm spending almost AUD $1K on a dress, it has to be something I can't imagine living without—and florals and pastels just aren't part of that equation, heh.
