The other has mum-to-be Kelly Giansiracusa, wife of Bulldog Daniel, on side, and 40 per cent off designer shoes.

Stylish winter wardrobes are going cheap with retail rivals Myer and David Jones putting their designer fashion brands on sale today.

International labels such as Chloe and Marc Jacobs and big-name Australia designer brands such as Nicola Finetti and Toni Maticevski are among the names on the bargain list as the retailers make space for summer stock that will start arriving next month.

David Jones regional manager for Victoria Lyn James said a tough retail season meant there was lots of choice at sales, with the department store offering up to 50 per cent off women’s designer clothing and up to 40 per cent off designer shoes and handbags.

“It’s no secret it’s been a tough season, it’s been a really competitive market place,” Ms James said.

“People have been saving a lot more, but when there’s a sale on people feel a little bit more like opening their wallets.”

She said boots, classic black items and plenty of this season’s stand-out checks and prints were still available and with a good size range.

She said sale items from Australian labels Camilla Marc and Easton Pearson were particularly good buys.

Myer marketing manager Megan Foster said the store had 40 per cent off some of its top Australian designer labels, and 40 per cent off handbags, including some from international names such as Hugo Boss and Missoni, and 50 per cent off designer shoes.

Ms Foster said savvy shoppers had picked out what they were after and were waiting for doors to open.

“Customers know the price, know what they want, they will come in and it’s still in season,” she said.
