Established in 2009 by Emily Collie, Melbourne Girl is your daily dose of fashion, style & inspiration.

In April 2011, we launched our website – melbgirl.com.au – since then our readership and social networking continues to grow.

We now have many (fabulous) contributing fashion writers and photographers who also work as part of the melbgirl team.
