Melbourne Central Shopping Centre received an injection of new fashion last week with the opening of the first Australian MRP store. The South African fashion retailer opened its doors on Thursday 22nd October, just in time for weekend trade.
The evening before saw a launch event with a guest list of industry insiders, including TheTrend Spotter’s own Dasha and Colin. Renowned fashion designer Henry Holland and style icon Poppy Delevingne attended the event to celebrate MRP’s Australian launch. Holland is one of several industry leaders to have COLLABORATED with MRP in recent years, joining a list which includes Chloe Norgaard, Agyness Deyn and indie band called Fun.
The launch introduced one of South Africa’s most recognizable apparel and accessory retailers to the Australian MARKET. Offering clothing, accessories, footwear and sleepwear for women, men and children, MRP will bring Australians a new selection of trend-driven styles at affordable prices. “We believe fashion is for everyone which is why we offer the latest looks at an everyday great price,” said Nicci Lyne, Managing Director at MRP.

Look Stylish & Fashionable Always With These Tips
Being stylish is not about spending all your savings. You don’t have to wear the whole designers in the world before you can become stylish and fashionable. It is pretty simple.
FIND OUT WHAT SUITS YOU – It is important to know what kind of clothes matches perfectly with you. Everyone has their own style secret,don’t be afraid to find yours. Make your own style,combine what nobody has combined before.
START WITH A SAFE COMBINATION -If you are a little bit skeptical on what to wear /combine,then start with black combinations,like black and white,black and gold,black and pink and so on.
THINK OF THE CENTER OF ATTRACTION – A belt,earring,scarf,sunglasses, bag and so on. There should always be one thing in your outfit that should always be unique.
ALWAYS HAVE A GOOD HAIR: Don’t be afraid to try something new to your hair. I recently added a little bit of colour to my hair and I am loving it. Be open minded about it.
BE CONFIDENT: Be your own self. Love your own style. Show confidence when you wear your clothes. You never know,someone might just be falling in love with your style.
