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.
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.
We loved Tyson's whole act this week. Caught having a sneaky day off in Melbourne with his fiancee, Tyson's relaxed style and attention to detail made for an eclectic mix. We especially love the English country gent upper-half with the Shibuya bottom half. Losers Uneaker 'Shark'
Thian is brand manager of Losers Sneakers. We photographed him outside of 'Up There' store in South Melbourne where he, along with designer Motoki Takanaka were preparing for the launch party of their SS13 collection. Thian was wearing the Losers Schooler Lo.
Peter certainly stood out in the corporate CBD lunch crowd & when he also told us his Reebok “Galaxy” EX-O-FIT sneakers glowed in the dark, there was no chance we were going to pass up a pic. Our second Atmos collaboration shoe this week!
We chased Qing Liang down Flinders Lane after spying him from across the street. We didn't need to know that these black leather sneakers were new season Givenchy Star-Detail Leather High-Top's to be able to tell that this was some seriously luxe footwear worth shooting.
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.
Northcote Supper Club owner Khaled had just come from a game of tennis when we spotted him walking back to his Vespa down Royal Lane in the Melbourne CBD. Wearing a pair of Puma x Alexander McQueen street climb lo's, we admired Khaled's striking, yet casual Summer style.
Simon was watching a game of friendly croquet at The People's Market in Collingwood when we spotted him in a fine pair of Missoni x Converse Auckland racers.
