How to Style the Sophia Brief by Body Type
- Rectangle: Alémais plays with colour and clean proportion. Where the Sophia Brief allows, mark the waist, add a sculptural earring, and let the Multicolour do the talking.
- Hourglass: Choose a line that skims rather than clings. Let the 75% Polyamide Recycled 25% Elastane follow the body, and finish with a fine heeled sandal.
- Tall: Long, easy silhouettes suit you. Style the Sophia Brief in Multicolour with a flat leather slide by day, and a heel by night.
- Petite: A clean shoulder and a heeled sandal draw the leg out. The considered proportions of the Sophia Brief keep a smaller frame balanced.

About Alémais
Alémais is a Sydney-based ready-to-wear house founded in 2020 by Lesleigh Jermanus, who built the label around colour, craft, and conscience after years inside the Australian fashion industry. The house is recognised for bold hand-drawn prints, artisanal beading, embroidery and sequin work, and ongoing collaborations with artists, all underpinned by a genuine commitment to organic and responsibly sourced materials. Alémais has become a fixture of the international resort and occasion calendar, worn by women who treat colour as a wardrobe staple and want craftsmanship they can see up close. The Luxury Handbags edit focuses on the Autumn/Winter 2026 collection: a season of painterly prints, hand-embellished separates, fluid resort tailoring, and colour-led eveningwear designed in Sydney.
“The Alémais Sophia Brief in Multicolour is the kind of piece we recommend when a wardrobe needs joy as much as polish. The 75% Polyamide Recycled 25% Elastane holds the print beautifully, the embellishment is the real artisanal article, and the proportions stay easy and wearable. This is colour-led dressing done with genuine craft, the sort of piece that earns its place season after season.”
