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.

Crockett & Jones Loafer

You can call him Yang, call him Ronny, but you can never call him badly dressed. Every time we see Yang walking through Melbourne's CBD he always looks immaculate. Here at SMM we feel like we've hit the jackpot when we see anyone dressed this well for a balmy Sunday evening out, paired with a shoe as nice as these Crockett & Jones loafers

 

 

Thenis Y-3 Hightop

We couldn't let Thenis walk past us on Swanston street without capturing his unique Adidas x Yōji Yamamoto high-tops. It seems nowadays high end fashion label x sneaker brand collabs are a dime a dozen, but the Y-3 label is this year celebrating its 10 year anniversary. No matter your fashion preferences, you have to admire a brand (& the men) pushing the boundaries on mens footwear.

 

Anseu Rocks Louboutin Rantus

We begged Anseu for his photograph after spying his funky gold glitter mid top trainers, even before we realised they were the product of the crown prince of statement footwear - Christian Louboutin. The Rantus Glitter sneaker is trimmed in electric blue suede. This is certainly not a shoe for the faint hearted!

Aaron Meandher Jim

Aaron is one of the guys behind new South Yarra barber shop Kings Domain  

Being on his feet all day, Aaron can attest to the fact that wearing a good quality leather shoe can be as comfortable (if not more so) than spending a day in sneakers. Sydney company Meandher make this ultimate smart casual lace-up and it's good to see an Aussie guy not scared to rock some lighter coloured footwear. A shoe like the Jim always looks better a little scuffed up. 

Stewart in Dries Van Noten

Stewart was hard to miss in what has been a very quiet week in Melbourne (where are all you guys hiding?).   In town from Hong Kong on a lightning visit to see friends, Stewart was busy falling in love with our Melbourne way of life.  Just as we were falling for his style and his sensational Dries Van Noten printed canvas derby's.   Stewart's style advice? "Don't think about it, just go with what you love".
