Overview

If Melbourne Spring Fashion Week has left you in a dizzy headspin of colours and fabrics and prints and jackets cut so perfectly your body simply aches for them — or if, y’know, you just like some fancy new clothes now and then — you might have already heard that the annual Big Fashion Sale is coming up pretty soon.

The name pretty much says it all. This thing is big. You’ll find lush items from past collections, samples and one-offs from over 30 cult Australian brands, both well-known and emerging, including Karla Spetic, LP33.3, Elke Kramer, Gary Bigeni, Verner, Uniform, Benah, Celeste Tesoriero and many more. This latest instalment will also feature international designers Alexander Wang, Kenzo, Marni, Christopher Kane, Helmut Lang, Mary Katantzou, Opening Ceremony, Erdem, Stella McCartney, ALC, Elizabeth & James and Lanvin.

With discounts of up to 80% off, this is one way of upping your street cred with designer threads that’ll leave your bank balance sitting pretty too. Prices this low tend to inspire a certain level of ruthlessness in all of us, though, so practise that grabbing reflex in advance. This is every man and lady for themselves.

Opening hours are:
Wednesday, October 21 — 3–8pm (VIP preview)
Thursday, October 22 — 9am–6pm
Friday, October 23 — 10am–7pm
Saturday, October 24 — 10am–6pm
Sunday, October 25 — 10am–5pm
