A contemporary twist on retro style clothing, Kings of Carnaby’s Greville Street store emanates a young, fresh and inviting vibe that dares to push conventional boundaries. Inspired by the life of 1960’s fashion icon John Stephen, the designs pay homage to the man who fronted the symbolic mod and peacock eras. An exciting assortment of tailored jackets, plaid shirts and bold cuts that ideally caters to male shoppers with an eye for style.
Encouraged by the sights, sounds and smells of Melbourne, owners Adrian Davis and Michael Lamacchia’s exclusive collections are designed in-house with the increasing desire to one day manufacture in Australia. Steadily finding their feet, the Kings of Carnaby stand by their abiding principle of promoting individual style and versatility to all their loyal and prospective customers. A great selection of Cheap Monday’s, Ksubi and Nudie denim on SALE! Ladies, check out the ankle and knee high suede boots.

Kings of Carnaby have a great variety of mod and vintage style dresses. The fabric is heavy, perfect for the colder months and the gold trimming gives the dress a cute retro feel. Pair with good quality black tights, black pumps or boots and a beanie for a winter look.
Guys, invest in quality denim. Black jeans are so versatile, they can be worn casually with a tee or can double up as a dressy pant as featured. Pair with a crisp white shirt and tailored vest. Keep the colours and shades simple and classic. The camel suede shoes gives a clean, tidy look to the outfit and also go great with dark blue jeans.
Ladies, don’t be intimidated by the range of vintage style dresses. Understand that they’re not going to look good on everyone, try things on and find something that suits your body type. This piece in particular is great for any season. The fabric is light in weight and the lavender colour is perfect for a casual summer day or winter nights when paired with black tights and black suede boots. Play with accessories, necklaces, belts, bracelets.
Guys, royal blue Cheap Monday’s are a must for your everyday wear. A v neck or scoop white tee always looks great. Kings of Carnaby have some great knit pieces for guys. This grey cable knit cardigan is really cute and simple for casual wear and isn’t fitted or “gay”.
I tagged this dress ‘Alice in Wonderland’ purely because it’s so feminine and playful. The shoulders have cute detailing and it’s perfect for winter. It did have an attachable faux fur neckline… I’m not entirely sure why… But I would wear it without. Pair with a belt that has gold embellishments, black tights and heels.
Kings of Carnaby have some really elegant Burberry inspired trench coats. Either the black or cream would go perfect with this dress, so have a play around with what’s in store.
Guys, there’s some great coats, jackets and blazers in store. A black, winter coat is essential for the cold months and this one creates a really flattering shape. Pair with black or blue denim, canvas or suede shoes and a vibrant scarf.
