Melbourne, the arts capital of Australia. It's also one to watch when it comes to fashion. With creativity at its heart, the city is a breeding ground for designers and in case you needed further proof, we're offering it up below. These are the Melbourne fashion brands we hold close to our heart, the ones that furnish our wardrobes and our bodies. From tailored suiting and ultra minimalist clothing to made-to-order garments that read more art piece than anything else, this city does it all. Proof that when it comes to Australian fashion, we're spoilt for choice.

So, without further ado, we've rounded-up our favourite Melbourne based fashion, accessories and jewellery designers, labels and shops. Know, support and love our homegrown talent, now and forever.
