All this hot weather may have thrown Melbourne's classic autumn fashion into chaos, we like getting dark around now if you hadn't noticed. But there are plenty of upsides. The Melbourne boys have been running all sorts of colours and alternative fabrics during our late Indian summer, mixing weights and proportions to get the working summer right. Ben here doing Melbourne casual the right way, running a clean pair of chukka's - a collaboration between Comme des Garcons x Dr Martens. His shirt & trousers of his own design and label.
