Fashion fiends, prepare to do significant damage to your bank account.

Fashion lovers, your wallets are about to get a mighty big workout. As most fans of international brands will agree, preparing to blow out your bank account is a perfectly reasonable response to the news we've all been waiting for: Zara has officially opened. Finally.

Following in the footsteps of Topshop and H&M, the Spanish retailer is the latest overseas clothing powerhouse preparing to set up shop in Queensland's capital. They're taking over the space at 155 Queen Street that formerly housed HMV — you might know it as the place where you probably spent too much time flipping through racks and racks of CDs, if you can remember back that far.

No date has been announced yet, though official word that doors will open soon is enough to get excited about. The store is reported to span three levels as the new development's flagship space — and it's just across the Queen Street Mall from the soon-to-be home of Uniqlo, for everyone wanting to browse international brands in close proximity.

Zara has been opening sites around the country since 2011, but to date, Brisbane has been left wanting and waiting. This isn't Zara's first foray up north though, with their Robina Town Centre store opening in September 2014 to massive queues and mass frenzy. Locals not so keen on trekking down to the Gold Coast to stock up on the savvy sartorial stylings of Zara's famed women, men and kids lines will no doubt be rejoicing.

Zara is located in the Queen Street Mall at 155 Queen Street, Brisbane.
