Where to shop the best Australian fashion designers in Sydney

The home of Australian fashion lies all at one fashionable intersection—literally. "The Intersection" (located on the corner of Oxford St. and Glenmore Rd.) in Sydney’s tree-lined neighborhood of Paddington is an outdoor retail hub filled with the best of Australian, as well as international, designer boutiques. From the sophisticated bohemian collections of Zimmermann to the quality basics of Bassike, you’ll find all of the top fashion at this one destination.

Plan an afternoon of shopping at The Intersection, and you’ll most likely brush shoulders with models, stylists, artists, and A-listers visiting Down Under. To get a good taste of Australian street style, grab a coffee or quick bite to eat and people-watch at Jackie's Cafe, a popular coffee house among the locals and stylish neighbors.

For all things beauty, head to Mecca Cosmetica, a favorite for both local and international beauty brands. Speaking of international brands, a couple that sit alongside the Australian designer boutiques include Sweden’s Acne Studios and Parlour X, stocking international collections from Balenciaga, Isabel Marant, Valentino, and Saint Laurent, just to name a few.
