A siren's power was never her silence, it was her voice.

The Sirens collection has ALQUEMA's story woven into the fabric itself. The Newspaper Print is pleated with real ALQUEMA history, and the Estrella's ombré palette evokes a sense of place, with colourways that move through the shades found in the natural world. Every piece has been hand pleated using the signature technique that has defined ALQUEMA since 1983.

Sirens is available now in store at the Queen Victoria Building, Sydney and at ALQUEMA and More, Northbridge.

The In Orbit collection moves through colour the way light moves through water, with ombré colourways that shift depending on the light and the hour.

ALQUEMA designed the Estrella Dress and Collare Coat to work as a complete picture, and as it happens, they also pack into a carry-on and come out the other side without needing anything from you.

In Orbit was designed Sydney, and is now online at alquema.com and at ALQUEMA's Queen Victoria Building boutique.

Made to move. ✨ The Shutter Skirt was built for this. Pleated panels that fan out and fall back with every sway and turn. It’ll be impossible to stand still in an outfit like this. ✨

Black and White Scribble 🖤🤍 One of ALQUEMA's most loved prints, and it's easy to see why.

The hand-pleated 3/4 Sleeve Smash Dress carries this pattern differently at every angle. The lines move with the fabric. No two wears look the same.

Hand pleated, designed in Sydney, and back by demand.
