Have you ever met Orlando Reindorf? One half of the Mr and Mrs Standard team, in Sydney.
If you have, it will make sense why our men's selection in the store is so damn good. Orlando is the buyer.
You will also never forget him. The man dresses well.
I think we might feature Orlando on a regular basis, seeing he is our favourite man in the business.
Fellas, watch and learn..

AMI means friend , it also is the initials of Parisien designer Alexandre Mattiusi , who has a pretty impressive design background having worked for both Dior and Givenchy. HIs own label , established in 2011 is a collection of easy pieces that don't try too hard , with an emphasis on quality

We unpack so much GOLD each week, but we never want to overload your eyes, and we want to save some magic for when you walk into our stores.

So we thought we would create The Standard 6 each week.Starting with me ( Jen ,from our Gertrude Street store in Melbourne )

Choosing our 6 most loved pieces.

Next week will be Orlando's turn because we all want to know what his elite sartorial choices would be….

And keep an eye on the blog for some guest appearances by stylish locals!

Ok , Lets begin...

There comes a point in your life when you realise that fast throw away fashion is no longer relevant to you. British label Studio Nicholson is our very favourite when it comes to luxurious simplicity.

One of our favourite things about Gertrude Street is how it comes alive again as the sun goes down.

The twinkly lights at Enoteca, the cosy atmosphere across the road at Belle's Diner...

And tonight the whole street will be buzzing... literally, for the opening of the Gertrude Street Projection Festival!

Sometimes the littlest things create the biggest impact. French designers Marie Macon and Anne-Laure Lesquoy create hand embroidered adornments that can transform the mundane into the sublime.
