Like a talent scout for standout designers, Assin is better than front-row at Fashion Week. Stockists of Marni, Kris Van Assche, Haider Ackermann and Dark Shadow, the store’s elite stable of labels is largely exclusive to Melbourne. Assin’s own clothing collection rubs hangers with these prêt a porter pioneers and most labels are available in men’s and women’s ranges. Clients also get access to current European season stock. Easily missed from street level, the expansive basement boutique also carries shoes and accessories to keep you one step ahead of High St. M. PADULA  Copyright © 2009 |
