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.
The Makers of Melbourne street style team stopped Andrew on a late Saturday afternoon in the Melbourne CBD. His Alfred Dunhill traditional leather holdall & the tailoring of his Balmain peacoat were dead giveaways that here was a man who appreciated quality, even when dressing for a casual day out. Andrew's leather & canvas boots were handmade in Istanbul by Helm & his jeans were from PRPS.

Last night saw some of Melbourne's best dressed men gather at Henry Bucks on Collins Street to celebrate the launch of Melbourne based shoe designer Christian Kimber's debut footwear collection.
Andrew was taking no prisoners with his fashion statements this weekend. One way or another his rocking Yohji x Adidas Y3 hi tops cap off a unique summer look. We snapped him waiting for a tram in the shade on Bourke street in Melbourne.
Andrew is a true shoe aficionado who was happy to impart on us the history of his Gaziano & Girling Brogues. Tony Gaziano & Dean Girling worked for a variety of bespoke makers, designers and Northampton manufacturers before coming together to launch their own company in 2006 - the first new factory producing handmade British footwear for over 100 years.
