#SoulofChapel highlight! ✨ 'A lot of people don' #SoulofChapel highlight! ✨ 'A lot of people don't understand @Eurotrash,' says vintage fashion maven and Chapel's most iconic woman, Margrit Pedrotti, 'They think "oh, it's trash'⁠ ⁠ Eurotrash's original collection was made up of the personal wardrobe of the flame-haired, turquoise-eyed, ex-model Margrit many years ago. Now she doesn't have to look far or anguish over selling beloved pieces; clients bring her their precious items, including pieces once owned by Madonna.⁠ ⁠ Here you'll find Comme Des Garcons, Prada, Jean Paul Gaultier or perhaps an iconic and rare Chanel pink suit sitting alongside a Vivienne Westwood tee signed by supermodels like Kate Moss and Cindy Crawford. ⁠ ⁠ 📷 Margrit's portrait by @paul_dowsley
🕴🏼 This is Arthur, he opened @arthurgalanag 🕴🏼 This is Arthur, he opened @arthurgalanag in 1998. Behind his business is a story that is entrenched in the history of the area, with connections that run deep. His mother had an alterations business around the corner in South Yarra over 40 years ago, and Arthur found his start here, helping where he could. Eventually it inspired him to start making his own clothes out the back.⁠ ⁠ Fast forward to 2021, and he has been one of the most accoladed designers in Australia, and fittingly, his mum still makes alterations above his store.⁠ ⁠ “During school holidays I would spend time at the factory, helping to cut a lay of fabric or cutting up labels, doing all sorts of things. It’s sort of in my blood."⁠ ⁠ He makes limited runs of all his collections, so every thing has a personal feel, and still tailors from scratch suits out of his shop.⁠ ⁠ Arthur is still as passionate as he was when he started, “I think when you enjoy what you do – it tends to work. If you can do something you enjoy that gives you a lifestyle and helps pay the bills - then why not?"⁠ ⁠ 📽️ Head to our profile to watch his #soulochapel story and #rediscoverchapel

This is Dean & Clint, owners of @yellowbirdcafe an This is Dean & Clint, owners of @yellowbirdcafe and Chapel legends 🐦⁠ ⁠ Yellow Bird opened in July 2007, the cafe embodies the spirit of the area - raw, fun and laid back. The food is comfort food, the drinks are fun, and they want it to be a place free of judgement. You can eat breakfast hungover, or you get a bit rowdy into the night.⁠ ⁠ Dean used to live down the street and Clint is the drummer in @somethingforkate. Both were just out to dinner and decided that they wanted to start a bar - they had no experience whatsoever. They just wanted to create a place for their friends to have good food and beer.⁠ ⁠ Dean and Clint are intertwined with places that are mainstays of the area like @thewoodscocktailbar, @revolverupstairs and @grevillerecords. Both of them are still behind the bar, and still heavily involved in the day-to-day running of the cafe. ⁠ ⁠ Yellow Bird really is Windsor. The face of what has occurred down that end would be different without them on the corner.⁠ ⁠ 📽️ Stay tuned for their #soulofchapel story #rediscoverchapel

In the words of Sam himself - why be treated like In the words of Sam himself - why be treated like a customer when you could be treated like a King or Queen? 👑 Sam started @samandko and has been in the same zone for 28 years. It feels like he has grown with the area - he said he spent his youth going to the clubs here, and now he's a shop owner on this strip.⁠ ⁠ The business is Sam, it’s hard for anyone else to run the store. It is his personality and relationship with customers that makes Sam & Ko what it is.⁠ ⁠ Sam really loves his customers – almost everyone is a regular, or recommended through regulars. He thinks that what makes Chapel so special, is that most businesses are unique, they’re not chains. And that has always been what the appeal is.⁠ ⁠ 📽️ Stay tuned for his #soulofchapel story #rediscoverchapel
