The Australian Mega-Brand MORRISSEY has closed the doors of it's Edward Street store. No reason's why as yet, but I would'nt be surprised if it's because of the insincere and inexperienced Sales Staff they had behind the counter flogging clothes that really did'nt live up to expectation.
I mean, I truly beleive in supporting Aussie talent, but I could never find anything worth buying, and although I have no value of money, the prices were out of control, especially when you're seeing the same clothes from 12 years ago that made Peter Morrissey and Leona Edmiston household names, in 2008, that just does'nt cut it.
It's sad, but that's today's society. When you have Australian designers doing incredible, original pieces, sometimes it pays to re-invent yourself. Let's just hope that someone decent takes over the Morrissey compound and not some cheap space filler.....I choose CALIBRE.
Now that would be nice!
PS. Morrissey fans don't worry, there is a concession stand in David Jones.

Sad but true! I have to admit the retail business in Brisbane is hard, now there is just so much more competition than before. I did go in there just before Christmas and have to admit, there were no lust after items and it is overpriced.
Morrissey's clothes have been shit for years. Bad designs and clothes that fall apart and fade. I do agree though, I hope something good replaces it.

sad, but true, the clothes were never up to scratch. and the service was always bad. never the same staff. fern.d.
The clothes were NEVER any good.
The staff were always insincere. You can thank GEN Y Mr Morrissey.

It was like an upmarket SUPRE'.
It won't be missed. Jenna.
it won't be missed either. the clothes were always copies or just plain awful.
I agree. There was never anything in the store ever worth wiping your arse on (except maybe the staff.....)
Chic Freak
Crap clothes with a Capital CRAP!!
This store was very cheap. From the fitout to the clothes and Gen Y behind the counter. It was never going to last. Mr Morrissey has really lost his crown.
