Destination: Melbourne
Overview Text Size A A A
As with almost everything else in Melbourne, the best shopping nowadays is found in the CBD, especially in newish areas, such as the GPO (General Post Office) and QV (Queen Victoria Village) buildings, which house an array of boutiques. Fashion-wise, the city has a few homegrown talents, like Toni Maticevski, whose ethereal gowns and elegant separates are receiving buzz in New York (he has shown on the ready-to-wear circuit for some time). After years of big-ticket-fashion drought (relieved only by such visionary retailers as Cose Ipanema), Melbourne finally has all the large international luxury brands—Chanel, Louis Vuitton, Burberry—but for visitors, local labels are the real finds here.
