David Jones

The home of Australian fashion
Popular plate: The chic basement food hall is a destination in itself. Tuck into a roast beef roll at the carvery or head to the wine bar for oysters and bubbly.

From their celebrity ambassadors (former Miss Universe Jennifer Hawkins for Myer vs. supermodel Miranda Kerr for David Jones) to their exclusive deals with Australian designers (Wayne by Wayne Cooper for Myer and Sass & Bide for David Jones), there's always been a fierce rivalry between the nation's two leading department stores.
Choosing a favourite isn't easy, but, true to its tagline, David Jones ('DJs' to locals) really is the home of Australian fashion and by default, a clear winner with most. The CBD store, connected to the new Westfield Sydney complex, is your one-stop shop for a dazzling new Sydney wardrobe, with no lack of bright bikinis, flirty cocktail dresses and killer heels to choose from. This full-service department store also houses menswear, kidswear, beauty, electrical and homewares.
