Some of the world's most recognised, respected and beloved global fashion names make their home in Melbourne, from popular and affordable labels to those prized for high-end fashion and couture. Keen style hunters will find endless opportunities to snap up international labels.
Overseas juggernauts Zara, Cos and Uniqlo have established themselves on the scene with sleek city stores, while Swedish giant H&M has transformed the historic GPO building in Bourke Street into its Melbourne home.
Cutting-edge Emporium, St. Collins Lane and 80 Collins have changed the face of shopping in Melbourne with a roll call of international brands and labels, such as Ralph Lauren, Saint Laurent, Mulberry, Coach and Lacoste.
The northern ‘Paris End’ of Collins Street is lined with flagship stores, including some the world’s most revered luxury brands, boutique fashion houses and international couturiers, housed in stunning heritage buildings. Look for Dolce & Gabbana, Hermes, Gucci and Bally. Close by, Flinders Lane makes room for big names in international couture, including Chanel.
