Art Up
Take the temperature of Vienna’s contemporary design scene at Art Up, which works on a cooperative model allowing the designers who stock their work here (around 40 when we popped in) to get a foothold in the fashion world. The model makes for an eclectic collection – elegant fashion pieces rub alongside quirky accessories (Astroturf tie or handbag, anyone?) as well as ceramics and bigger art pieces. It’s a testament to the liveliness of the fashion and design scenes in Vienna, given new vigour by students coming out of the city’s fashion schools and driven by a burgeoning confidence in the quality of home-grown talent.

Wolford
Perhaps the best-known Austrian brand in the fashion world, Wolford (founded in 1949) is renowned for high-quality hosiery. Here you’ll find a huge range – including fishnets in all colours of the rainbow and imaginatively patterned tights, stay-ups, stockings and knee-highs – as well as body stockings and swimwear. There are a number of Wolford branches scattered around town.

Flo Vintage Mode
In a city this enamoured with the glamorous past, it’s no less than shocking that there are few true vintage clothing stores in town. The clothes here are fastidiously and beautifully displayed, from pearl-embroidered art nouveau masterpieces to 1950s and ‘60s New Look pieces and designer wear of the ‘70s and ‘80s (alphabetised Armani–Zegna). Prices (and quality) are high.

Guter Stoff
The name means Good Stuff, which it is: fair trade clothing from a handful of labels including Move At (handmade-in-Vienna leather wallets and bags), Earth Positive and Continental Clothing (both casual street garb). Or give your favourite T-with-a-tear a rebirth: it sells its own ‘hole pimps’ (patches) in a variety of styles, colours and shapes.

Hot Dogs
The Hot Dogs showcases individually tailored, figure-hugging clothing for women; smooth lines and quality fabrics (raw silk, delicate wool, flowing-yet- structured cotton) dominate, yet most items sell for less than €200. Mandarina, designer and owner, is nearly always at the tiny table in the centre of the tiny space, sewing her latest creation.

Mühlbauer
Adorning Viennese heads since 1903, Mühlbauer embodies the spirit of fun that hat-wearing in the 21st century should be all about: cool without being unapproachable, glamorous without being stuffy. Cloches, pillboxes, caps and even bonnets – designs nod to the traditional but with colours and detailing that are oh so now.

Phili’s – With Love
A shop for girlie girls – think frilly pink umbrellas, glam-and-glitter jewellery, flowery hoodies, trainers and boots. Even tomboys might be swayed by the super-cute novelty totes and handbags from cult Danish label Apfelsina, and a range of other carefully chosen bits and bobs by hip labels from around the world.
