The recent rise of the fashion-conscious male has meant a boom in fashion retail catering to men all around Melbourne. Local design duo Shandor Gancs and Boyd Parry joined forces to establish their label Leopold in 2004. Combining Shandor’s graphic communication expertise and Boyd’s tailoring skills, Leopold are fast becoming one of Melbourne’s defining menswear labels, best known for their traditional tailoring and contemporary design.
Their collaboration with Polaroid has spawned a limited edition range of sunglasses, Leopold Occhiali. Already stocked nation-wide and internationally in New York, London and Stockholm, their flagship store, Leopold’s Empire, has just opened in Melbourne’s City Square.
If you’re a fan of luxury fabrics, Italian wool jumpers and tailored shirts and jackets, versatile enough to dress up or down, then Leopold’s Empire is the store for you.
