I have a new favorite shop in Melbourne. Left. It’s in Gertrude street and not only is it filled with cult Japanese designers Comme Des Garcons and Yohji Yamamoto but also has Gareth Pugh on the way. Quite a coup for a small shop in a country so far from Pugh and his Paris office, yet so suitable for the town The Satorialist described as dressed in too much black and too intellectual. Put a hexagon coat and some buckled platformed no heel booties on me now. What is best about the store is Mia. Any stores in Melbourne with designer wear are stereotypically scary and hard to enter due to the egotistical snobs who stare down their pointed noses until you buy something just to prove them wrong. I still have a Zambesi tulip skirt I bought due to spite. Well, Mia was so helpful and is now in my top five best dressed in Melbourne.
