Hello Queensland!
Sydney,
Melbourne, you've had a guide written for you already.
It's been noted that the fashion capital of Australia is Melbourne with confusion sometimes arising to if Sydney is actually better. That said, let's not start the trivial Syd vs Melbs debate ... shit's old news ...
chk chk boom.
There are however other parts of Terra Australis and stores interstate holding down the fort for all thats rad and awesome. Homies interstate are not behind in the fashion game anymore thanks to good people doing fuckingly good things.
Again I wanna point out that spending your plastic $s at your local is good for our economy and supports the people who are providing you warez that will get you laid, get you job promotions and massive e-props on the internetz.
Your guide to the 4000s:
Laced
I've gotta add this bit cause when it got emailed to me I LOLd: "We’ve been sent from the future to save the streetwear scene after it’s demise in 2019. It’s kinda like Bill and Ted’s bogus journey…no, it’s exactly like Bill & Ted’s bogus journey."
Clint and Phil are probably close to mentally disturbed, but thats ok cause they have a dope store and a strong fetish for all things that "transform and roll out" They work hard and play harder and have a loyal following in Brisvegas second to none, I'm pretty sure nostradamus also predicted the cult status they would become.

Apartment
Classic case of boys to men, when I first met these boys they were into kicks and tricks and the apartment shop was smaller than an apartment and more like a shoebox, since then with their maturity their store has also taken note and matured with them. In fact they moved to a much bigger space and their stock list took a turn for the learned fashionista. Ben and Nick (BenorNick) have also extended the apartment name to an in-house label comprising of button-down shirts (which are awesome), chinos and 11 oz pima cotton selvedge denim from the Okiyama prefect (which are awesomer and relate weight to weather ratio - cause like Bris Vegas is hot yo).
