Alémais
Since its arrival in 2020, Sydney fashion label Alémais has endeavoured to cultivate a spirit of the wildly nomadic and adventurous, keeping an eye to the future, whilst leaving a window ajar to the artisanal practices of the past.
Artist collaboration plays an integral part of the design process - with much of the work paying homage to the art movements that were instrumental in shaping, rousing and challenging our modern world.
Turning a blind eye toward the formalism and rigidity of everyday dress, here the free-flowing fluidity of explorative shapes and artful proportions takes centre stage; with a lightweight form that is in equal parts both thoughtful and playful.
