Brand Feature — Middle Park

Joseph Ribkoff

Ready-to-Wear — Est. 1956

A brand buttressed by years of knowledge and experience. Known for refined, ready-to-wear collections with flattering cuts — each style created to adorn its wearer with confidence and timeless elegance.

Montreal since 1957,
built for occasions.

Joseph Ribkoff has been designing women's ready-to-wear from Montreal since 1957. The brand has always understood something fundamental about what women need from occasion dressing: pieces that flatter across different body types, move comfortably, look polished from morning to evening, and survive repeated wear without losing their shape.

The construction is where the brand earns its reputation. Ribkoff works with stretch fabrications that hold their structure. The seaming, panelling and draping in Ribkoff pieces does real work on the body — creating a flattering silhouette across a genuinely broad range of shapes.

For the occasions
that don't stop.

In Melbourne's inner south — Albert Park, South Melbourne, Port Melbourne, St Kilda, Elwood — there is a constant calendar of occasions: weddings, race days, charity lunches, gallery openings, family events, corporate dinners. Ribkoff solves the dressing problem for most of them in one or two versatile pieces rather than a wardrobe of single-use outfits.

We carry Joseph Ribkoff because the occasions do not stop. Our customers have events to dress for — and they want to look good without spending three weekends searching for something that works.

"Each style is created to adorn its wearer with confidence and timeless elegance."

Joseph Ribkoff at Empress Melbourne

Joseph Ribkoff is the Canadian house women turn to when an outfit needs to do real work — weddings, milestone birthdays, the cocktail evening that follows a long day at the office. At Empress Melbourne in Middle Park, we carry Joseph Ribkoff for the woman who wants to look completely pulled together with one decision and very little fuss.

The signature is a clever stretch fabric that holds its shape, skims rather than clings, and travels without complaint. Cuts are flattering and forgiving in equal measure; the colour palette is grown-up. It is dressier than most of what we carry — and indispensable for the days you cannot afford to think about what you are wearing.

Empress Melbourne is on Armstrong Street, Middle Park, serving Albert Park, South Melbourne and Port Melbourne. Joseph Ribkoff is hand-selected each season — the standout pieces, in genuinely limited quantities.
