There are some names that are fundamentally woven into the fabric of Australian fashion. For over two decades, Leona Edmiston has been synonymous with one ultimate, empowering silhouette: the perfect dress. From our signature jersey frocks to timeless wrap silhouettes, a Leona dress has always been a celebration of the feminine form, an effortless, throw-on-and-go capsule of confidence.

But fashion, like the women who wear it, is beautifully dynamic.

While our heritage is deeply rooted in iconic dresses, modern wardrobing demands versatility. Today, we are thrilled to usher in a brand-new chapter for the brand.

Introducing Leona Edmiston Cotton Separates: a meticulously tailored collection of premium cotton shirts and pants designed to seamlessly transition from structured workwear to effortless weekend luxury.

This isn't just an addition to our line; it’s the reimagining of Leona’s signature DNA for a whole new market.

The Evolution: Welcome to Cotton Separates

Stepping into the separates market required the same uncompromising eye for quality that built our dress empire. We chose 100% premium cotton as the hero fabric for this debut collection because it embodies everything Leona stands for: effortless luxury, crisp structure, and ultimate breathability for the modern lifestyle.

The Shirts: Crisp, Classic, and Contemporary

Our new collection of cotton shirts brings architectural sophistication to your everyday rotation. Crafted with a focus on precision tailoring, these pieces offer a relaxed yet polished silhouette. Think classic collars, elegant button-down plackets, and cuffs designed to be rolled up or left crisp. Whether tucked into a sleek skirt or styled casually over denim, these shirts bring the elevated DNA of a Leona frock into a versatile separate.

The Pants: Tailored Comfort and Effortless Movement

Finding the perfect pair of trousers is an art form, and our new collection of cotton pants masters it completely. Engineered with both structural sophistication and all-day comfort in mind, these bottoms are designed to flatter the natural waist and create an elongated, fluid silhouette. They are the ideal anchor for a smart-casual wardrobe, balancing daytime pragmatism with after-dark elegance.

How to Style the New Collection

The beauty of cotton separates is their ability to shift identities depending on how you style them. Here is how we are wearing them right now:

• The Power Monochromatic Look: Pair our cotton shirt with the matching tailored cotton pant. Keep the buttons crisp and add a sleek leather belt for a modern, minimalist look that dominates the boardroom.

• The High-Low Weekend Aesthetic: Wear our premium cotton shirts unbuttoned over a simple camisole, paired with casual slides and your favourite statement jewellery for an effortless weekend brunch or coastal escape.

• The Signature Mash-Up: Contrast the structural elegance of our new pants by pairing them with one of our vibrant, signature printed silk blouses or jersey tops, marrying the heritage of Leona prints with our new tailored foundations.
