6. Princess Highway

One of Melbourne's most popular vintage-inspired labels, Princess Highway is quite similar to Dangerfield. The brand draws inspiration from 60's mod, 70's glamour and 90's grunge, which is quite different from the modern aesthetic Gorman is known for. However, both brands stock colourful and distinctive pieces, making Princess Highway a great option for those who love vibrant collections, but prefer a more vintage twist.

7. BY JOHNNY.

Much like Gorman, the BY JOHNNY label enjoys statement prints and punchy colours. However, BY JOHNNY offers a slightly more high-end alternative to Gorman with its elegant, flattering silhouettes and feminine textures. If you're in the market for some seriously stylish wear that's guaranteed to stand out, this is a label you're going to want to check out immediately. As BY JOHNNY is a little more upmarket than Gorman, its price range is a tad higher, but most pieces still come in under the $400 mark.

8. Monki

With abstract prints and loose silhouettes, Monki is a brand similar to Gorman in style but not in price. While some of its pieces do scrape the $100 mark, most fall into a price point of $60 and under, making it a truly affordable alternative. The wide selection of wearables also makes it a breeze to mix and match pieces with your current wardrobe to come up with your own Gorman-inspired outfits.

9. Mister Zimi

Emblazoned with bold patterns, Mister Zimi takes its cue from the colours and silhouettes of the 70's era. Based in Byron Bay, the label takes on a slightly tropical feel with its relaxed, trans-seasonal, versatile pieces. You'll notice similar prints to the Gorman label in hues that are still colourful, though not quite as loud as Gorman's.
