While I was in Australia I was surprised by the amount of vintage fashion in all of the cities. From markets to shops each city had its fair share, with Melbourne being well up there with the most.
Friends who had lived there before had always said how much better Britain was, but in retrospect this is clearly due to Australia's lack of high street stores. Sydney introduced some more interesting midrange fashion brands to the mix, with a huge Zara opening in a new Westfield shopping centre causing quite a buzz amongst locals.
Most of the department stores and shopping centres however, were full to rafters with designer after designer from international brands such as Louis Vuitton, Gucci and Dior to my favourite Australian discoveries, gorgeous nightwear designer Peter Alexander and casual wear brand Bonds.
The Peter Alexander website has vibrant colours and imagery throughout and I love how the product is displayed.. Take a look here.
I of course took a few items home as souvenirs. Would be rude not to.
