In this week's instalment of #TheMakers, we tour Ariane Leonardis' modern eclectic home in Sydney. ✨
@arianeleondaridis, fashion designer and co-founder of sustainable resort wear brand @ilio_nema is a Paris native, modelling from the age of 18 for luxury names like Castelbajac and Martin Margiela. Fast forward to today, after years of being surrounded by beautiful sources of inspiration, Ariane has used her exposure to the fashion industry to carve a different path behind the scenes.
In 2020, Ariane saw the perfect opportunity to pursue a lifelong dream of creating her own sustainable line of resort wear - ILIO NEMA. Founded by Ariane and her business partner Katia Kelso, ILIO NEMA emerged from their mutual commitment to sustainable design. Their ethos is simple: to counteract trend-based consumption by reintroducing timeless and traditional craftsmanship to modern life.
