Parlour X

This multibrand women’s luxury shop is an established destination for ready-to-wear designer clothes and accessories. Housed in Oxford St’s historic 1845 St John’s Church, complete with stained-glass windows, the surroundings are as impressive as the clothing. They stock Valentino, Issey Miyake, and Isabel Marant, among others, and customer service is top-notch. Owner Eva Galambos launched the store in 2001 and has since built a reputation as an Australian fashion-buying pioneer. Her website is always worth a visit, as a great source of info on designers, fashion shows, and influencers, and even includes some insightful city guides from Bali to LA to Tel Aviv.
