“I start most days with a great playlist, a stroll to grab my morning co ee and preparing my to-do list before the team arrive. I then switch from visiting our local makers in Sydney to fi ttings with our pattern maker, sourcing fabrics, researching, designing, problemsolving production issues, creative brainstorming sessions with the team and vintage shopping.”
“I’m regularly trying on our toiles and samples so I end up wearing so many di erent looks during the day. The current collection refl ects my penchant for a pu y, billowy sleeve.”
Alemais has a slow-fashion ethos and ethereal vision so, naturally, founder Lesleigh Jermanus has elegance in spades. We step into her creative life.
CHRISTIE NICOLAIDES earrings, $389.
WANDLER bag, $950.
ALEMAIS dress, $450.
“Starting the season, I look for artisan fabrics, like this fun shibori tie dye hand woven on traditional looms. Sketching is therapeutic, however I start with the fabric and ask myself: how can the texture be manipulated or draped and tucked? What can it do?”
“My inspiration board is a collection of photographs I took on my film camera during my travels through Africa, drawings I have scribbled on the back of a napkin and a wedding invitation that has since sparked a collaboration with the artist.” “To get inspired, I’m reading about regenerative farming – it’s inspiring me to think about the future of sourcing raw materials and the impact on the environment. And I’ve been watching Luca Guadagnino’s films I Am Love and Call Me by Your Name. The cinematography, music and story always leave me with something to think about.”
“My beauty routine includes Rationale #4 The Cleanser, Weleda Skin Food Light and SPF, followed by a swipe of lipstick.”
“Switching off involves researching dream destinations, far off and local – I love having a holiday I can dream about. Yoga always helps, as does weekly acupuncture and a good session at an infrared sauna. And I don’t mind a karaoke session here and there, too!”
RATIONALE #4 The Cleanser, $106.
WELEDA Skin Food Light 75ml, $26.95.
