Grand Madame Herself

Hidden in a little laneway in the heart of Melbourne, lies a beautiful grand madame and what a grand lady she is! I am talking about the one and only Madame Virtue & Co, located in Crossley Street. Owners Dean Hewitt and JC Lloyd-Southwell d'Anvers, and their beloved Shar-Pei pooch, Maude, bring you the very best of vintage and haute couture from around the world.



 

Upon entering, you will see walls lined with rack upon rack of one-off couture pieces and high-end vintage gowns. From  Lanvin through to Chanel, there's is something for everyone. 






While speaking to Dean, I discovered the philosphy behind Madame Virtue. Madame Virtue is all about empowering their clients. Admittedly, if I were to wear any of their couture or vintage gowns, I would feel very empowered indeed!

Along with gowns galore, Madame Virtue stocks a range of vintage scarves, such as Hermes and Celine, earrings and necklaces and not forgetting Chanel handbags, my absolute favourite!

Now is the perfect time to visit this grand madame as they are having a major VIP sale (appointment only). Madame Virtue are offering 30 % off all CHANEL and other luxury brands , sale racks $100 off all top international designs , archive /vintage / Madame Virtue samples, as well as some menswear.  Contact Dean (see details below) to arrange your appointment today!

Yours in style,

Madame Virtue & Co is located at 5 Crossley Street Melbourne,Victoria Australia. Contact Dean on 9663 8669 or alternatively send him an email info@madamvirtue.com.au

gelati in the gardens

I was joking with my better half about the outfit I chose to wear to our special family reunion. We needed to travel into the city to the Fitzroy Gardens, and on our journey, we kept eachother entertained by thinking of gelati flavours which matched my oufit. In the end we decided upon raspberry, strawberry, vanilla & mango! The morning was quite fresh, so I decided to wear a layer of silk/cashmere over my silk chiffon shirt. This magical blend always comes through when I'm in need of extra warmth and comfort. This ensemble was the perfect match for my raspberry coloured skirt!  For a picnic, flats seemed like the perfect choice, because of their practicality. So I decided to bring a touch of mango to the gelati mix! These mustard coloured, patent leather ballet flats, are so chic and comfortable. They are one of my favourite pairs of Repetto ballet flats, purchased from the fabulous Alice & Deb at Treasurette. Check out

I love miu mui

My absolute favourite international designer has to be mui mui . I find myself falling in love again and again, with each new season collection. Muiccia Prada's label is fun, feminine and fabulous!  We're really lucky to have a mui mui store in Melbourne actually. For anyone who has ever been to Chadstone Shopping Centre, you would know it is the fashion Mecca for anyone looking for high-end designer clothing and accessories. Every single time I go to Chadstone, without fail, I pay a special visit to mui mui. I know mui mui garments, shoes, and accessories are on the more expensive side, but a girl can dream right? There's just something extremely appealing to me that keeps me coming back season after season. Now to save up for a piece to call my own some day...            Do you have a high-end international designer who you really enjoy? Who is it and what makes them so appealing to you? Enjoy t

sandy liang fall/winter '22

It's been some time between posts as I have been waiting for something to inspire me. So when one of my favourite designers, Sandy Liang, released the look book from her new Fall/Winter '22 collection, I was so excited, that I decided to edit these looks into ten of my favourites. Sandy Liang stays true to her aesthetic each season. Like previous collections, there are hints of Marie Antoinette and Ballet. The way Sandy Liang fuses the two together is amazing. I am drawn to anything to do with ballet, so, of course, I love this collection! My favourite pieces are the cotton dresses with bow detailing, the trench coat dress, camel corduroy skirt pants and layered knitwear. So wearable, but whimsical in a very grown-up kind of way. Pure genius! Can't wait for the collection to land in Australia. Which are your favourites? Yours in style,  Suzi x Photos by  @zorasicher  c/o Sandy Liang NY
