Top Albert Park fashion destination Filly’s Stable has dropped the “Filly’s”, rebranded as Stable and received a bold but approachable refurb. “It’s a bit more relaxed,” founder Lauren Nicolls tells Broadsheet. “[Customers] can shop and play with the jewelery in a non-precious environment.”

The open-plan studio now has gold finishes, baby blue walls, and vibrant pieces by local and European designers. You might find eclectic dresses by Spanish slow-fashion label Celia B, elegant staple pieces from luxury brand Self Portrait, or vintage-inspired collections by Rixo London. Footwear by British label JW Anderson has also proven popular.
You’ll also be able to shop for Nicoll’s own label, On
