  1. TL Wood

    Teresa Liano has styled Melbourne’s best dressed behind the scenes for years. Her luscious label gives women what they really want: the loveliest silks and wools, and cuts that both flatter the female form and subtly demand attention. One of her soft knit scarves will keep you warm for years.The shop, which feels more like a very stylish front room, also has a wonderful range of jewellery by local artisans.

    Hunter Gatherer

    Run by the welfare organisation Brotherhood of St Laurence, Hunter Gatherer filters through its 26-odd op shops to bring you the cream of secondhand gear. It also stocks its own vintage-inspired label, designed by recent fashion graduates and guaranteed to be made without sweatshop labour. All profits go to programs to assist low-income families, the elderly and the unemployed.

  3. Husk

    Long-time love of the local bobo (bourgeois bohemian) tribe. The clothes on the hangers here are as eclectic and earthy as the surrounds and take in the best Australian and New Zealand designers. There’s a selection of own-brand teas and homewares, as well as a peaceful café serving healthy dishes and morish, slightly Moorish cakes.

  4. Scanlan & Theodore

    S&T helped define the Melbourne look back in the 1980s and are still going strong with superfeminine, beautifully tailored everyday and special-occasion wear. Although now considered a mature, mainstream label, its clothes always manage to make a statement. Cleverly sourced accessories and luxurious knits are very hard to pass up.

  5. Zomp

    At sale time or on a Saturday afternoon there’s a thinly veiled air of hysteria in here; shoes can do it to the best of us. The range is the main draw: you can get anything from a pair of superb Italian boots that will cost most of a week’s wage to a pair of knock-off ballet flats or flip-flops for well under $100.

  6. Shag

    This shop is jam-packed with super stylist-ordained vintage pieces, including shoes, furs and bags (and often jam-packed with the girls that love them). Those in the know also snap up the well-priced collection of frighteningly fashion-forward new dresses, jackets and tops shipped from Hong Kong.

    If the term ‘Air Max’ flips your burger, you’ll love this trainer temple that stocks Nike to New Balance and what’s known as street apparel.
