The Thousands

For high end labels (Elizabeth James, Dion Lee, Alex Wang, I’m talking to you) and lovers of all things couture, fashion nerds go to net-a-porter.com or thenewguard.com.au. For vintage threads, the fashion pack alternate between claireinc.com and ebay.com. Sneakers? Pickyourshoes.com. Jewellery? Melodyehsani.com. Sunnies? Ameyewear.com. Okay now I’m just naming names.

So where do fierce femme fatales go when looking to get their gangster glam on? And by gangster we don’t mean the pinstripe suit, cigar and fedora combo ala Al Capone and John Gotti. We mean gangsta. Mashed with glam. You know, what MIA, Kid Sister, Amber Rose, Santi and Rihanna would rock on a night out on the town. Enter dirtyrich.com.au.

Australia’s answer to karmaloop.com, Sydney’s online store peddles the hottest underground American streetwear labels like Hellz Bellz, Clawmoney, Married To The Mob, Princess Of The Posse, Joyrich and Wildfox. Think cropped tees, ruptured leggings, motorcycle jackets, bondage skirts and mesh bow rings… Beautiful, dirty, rich, alright. All you need is a non-maxed out credit card, a fast wi-fi and a hankering for some directional threads.

Um, werd.
