With a reputation for hot leather and some Fat4 fostering, a Melbourne guy can start in custom-made art and embark on a fashion label. In eight years, Rob Mianiscalco has branded his embroidered Claude Maus onto the denim backsides of most toothpick-legged ladies. His jeans must magically transform portly women into things with spindly sticks, which scuttle to and fro dingy drinking holes - that would explain the disproportionate population of good-looking people wearing his denim.

So, enough of the insect ladies. Back to the serious,moving-up-in-the-world business. Claude Maus has opened a store in the city. They don't just sell twig-friendly denim. They stock torso-lengthening designs and leather jackets you'll want to sleep in, but probably shouldn't because waking up in heavy sweats would prove unpleasant.

The building they have moved into is overwhelmingly special. It's heritage listed and no doubt pretty old, but don't be put off by the insects scampering in and out of the dressing rooms, they probably won't bite.
