ILIO NEMA is a luxury resortwear brand founded by Ariane Leondaridis and Katia Kelso, two designers of Greek heritage united by a devotion to artisanal craftsmanship and timeless design. Born in Paris and Sydney, the founders forged their creative partnership in New York, where Ariane served as Design Director and Katia as Production Director.

Inspired by the rhythm of travel and the beauty of sun-drenched destinations, ILIO NEMA is rooted in slow fashion and meticulous, hand-crafted processes. Each piece is created using exacting techniques that set the brand apart in an industry often dominated by fast, disposable fashion.

Designed for the modern woman’s escape, ILIO NEMA luxury resortwear is defined by fluid silhouettes, refined detailing, and effortless elegance. Our collections are thoughtfully crafted to move seamlessly from resort to city, embodying a belief in care, repair, and longevity.
