Makers of Melbourne

Welcome to Makers Of Melbourne – the ‘go to’ guide for our technically integrated age.

Makers Of Melbourne has been created to consume and assimilate Melbourne culture. We're male focussed, but not male specific, sorting through the dross to weed out the creative stars, standout events and stylish folk that make this city unique. 

MOM aims to embrace all facets of what makes this city a creative hub. Our aim is to inform without condescending – to keep you abreast of what’s going on without regurgitating Press Releases & to seek out this city’s sub cultures to give our readers the inside scoop on what’s REALLY happening with the people who make Melbourne Melbourne.

Pio Autumn Palette

It's been an extremely mild Autumn in Melbourne, which has given us snappers a fantastic array of colours, texture and style.  We feel like we are witnessing the rise and rise the 'Australian Man' in fashion terms - equal parts attentive, indifferent and unique.  Pio just about summed up Autumn this week, spotted wearing a palatte of colour and style that has defined Autumn 2013.  Sure, the good shoes bring it all together, but the attention to detail is what makes it all so relaxed.

Andy Clarks Collab

Andy is the owner of renowned Adelaide menswear store Right Hand Distribution (with whispers of a Melbourne RHD soon to open). We photographed Andy outside De Clieu in Fitzroy wearing a striking pair of boots designed in collaboration between Clarks Originals and cult Japanese label Atmos. 

Duckie Brown Beaded Wingtip

Vlad was photographed outside the Festival Of Steve - An event celebrating Melbourne's Modern Man that took part at The Kelvin Club last weekend. We couldn't pass up the opportunity to get a shot of his Florsheim by Duckie Brown beaded leather brogues. These grained black leather wingtip derby's feature a medallion toe and woven multicolor beading detail, finished on a leather sole.

Wingtip American Style

  This ABC journalist was wary of letting us shoot his whole look, but we still had to get a shot of these  Stacy Adams Crocodile print and smooth cream kid skin Wing Tip's that he had purchased in shoes from San Antonio, Texas.

The Stacy Adams Shoe Company was founded in 1875 in Brockton, Massachusetts, United States, by William H. Stacy and Henry L. Adams. The company's wares have an emphasis on urban style, including modern zoot suits. 

David decade old Borrelli's

It's been a busy week for Shoemakers with all sorts of great things going on in Melbourne.  Ground zero has been the National Gallery and Hamer Hall with the launch of Monet at the NGV.  We've managed to stop some fantastically dapper Melbourne men and David just about summed up the vibrant Melbourne mood in his snappy blue double-breaster and faithful Borelli's.
