Ann Street, Fortitude Valley - Brisbane CBD and Suburbs

Fortitude Valley (or 'The Valley' as it is known to locals) has a well deserved reputation as Brisbane's home for one-of-a-kind fashion. With the mix of fashion designers, artists and musicians working within the area, it’s no wonder that this inner-city suburb is inspiration for beautiful fashion.

One street within The Valley that continues to offer an array of unique boutiques is Ann Street. Here you will find arguably Brisbane's best boutique for innovative fashions - Blonde Venus. It is a rather unassuming outlet from the exterior but was the first to deliver the world’s cutting-edge designers to an eager local market. The store is Australia’s exclusive stockist for a number of international labels and is heavily involved in showcasing the city’s young and very talented design aspirants. And with the opening of its sister store The Outpost in a sneaky alley nearby, the stores continue to offer something different for locals and visitors alike.

Other must-shops on Ann Street include Ultra Suite, with its impressive offering of local and national designers, and Mod Cons, a hot-spot for gifts and quirky homewares, and stockists of jewellery and homewares designer Dinosaur Designs.
