Pretty Dog

Pretty Dog is located in a beautiful old terraced house at 5 Brown Street, Newtown. It's a major showcase for Australian designers: soft jersey dresses in ice cream colours from Gary Bigeni, cool black and taupe trousersuits from Therese Rawsthorne, and beautiful draped kimono-style dresses in pale grey and polka dots, from Future Classics. There are also selected international labels such as Paul & Joe. The atmosphere is relaxed – it almost feels like going round to someone's house to admire their clothes – but the design aesthetic is sharp, and presided over by the lovely Maggie (pictured below).
