Welcome to the herBusiness program, where we interview inspiring businesswomen and entrepreneurs.

Leona Edmiston began her career in the 1980s with her first fashion label, Morrissey Edmiston, shared with former business partner Peter Morrissey.

In 2001, Leona launched her solo label with business partner Jeremy Ducker and they formed the present company. The label, entitled Leona Edmiston is a tribute to the dress in all its incarnations. A Leona Edmiston Frock is elegant, versatile and ageless. (I know! I’ve owned a few over the years.)

The Leona Edmiston brand is sold in 18 signature boutiques, concession stores in Myer department stores.

Due to great success of her beautiful frocks, Leona Edmiston’s label extended into a range of dresses for the little ladies ‘Little Leona’, sleepwear, accessories, her PINS hosiery, a Signature Fragrance and Candle.
