Dresses & Fashion

The Dresses and Fashion in Victoria Australia page provides links to fashion stores in Victoria, as well as sites with information on central shopping districts in Melbourne.

For as long as there had been women, we have been interested in the clothes we wear.  Centuries ago, it was about keeping up with the fashions in the royal court and looking like the powerful women of the day.

At the end of the 19th century, the first fashion designers appeared in Paris, with designers creating their own styles.  From the beginning of the 20th century, Paris became the capital of the world of fashion, with French designs affecting what women wore all over the world.

The end of the Second World War saw Paris lose its status as the exclusive fashion capital of the world.  Great designers now come from all parts of the globe, and many influential and original designers call Australia home.

Melbourne and Victoria are the home of shopping in Australia.  Whether you’re interested in stylish casual collections or business apparel, formal dresses or vintage chic, there are plenty of places to find the perfect outfit, if you know were to look!
