If you’re heading to the races for Spring Carnival, or being roped into a spring wedding or two, this one’s for you. Sunny days and silly season are coming fast, so whatever it is, we bet you’ve got an event to hit where you’re going to want to look your utmost stylish.

With this in mind, let us introduce you to the Kirrily Johnston pop-up sale store in Chapel Street. Over the next four days, it will help inject some fresh designer threads and looks into your wardrobe.

In a first, Johnston – the Project Runway Australia judge and acclaimed designer whose clothes are seen on Miranda Kerr, Megan Gale, Rachael Taylor and Dianne Kruger – will sell her past collections, one-off samples, shoes and accessories in Melbourne. That’s right Sydneysiders, it’s our turn for some Kj love.

Rest assured, there will be no rummaging in boxes or sorting through makeshift racks, dangling a tangled disarray of designer clothing. Instead, what was once the Satch store is being transformed into a Kirrily Johnston space featuring carefully curated styles suited to carnival time in Melbourne.

Shop from current season samples, the Autumn/Winter 2011 collection and pick up the perfect outfit just in time for Melbourne Cup. Stock up on the diffusion line, Kj by Kirrily Johnston, for timeless basics and relaxed weekend wear.

Expect to find styles crafted in buttery soft leather, suede, silk and luxe knits in a colour palette featuring turquoise, neon, signature KJ orange, stripes and gorgeous gold and neutrals. Gents, you will earn major bonus points for bringing your woman here (and far more points if you wait patiently).

There’s hardly a better excuse to shop in style than a Kirrily Johnston pop-up store because what’s here today will be gone on Monday and you’ll be kicking yourself if you don’t go.
