@kafandcomarketing: Metalicus was EVERYWHERE in 90s and 2000s Australia. If you were a woman in this country, you owned the stockings. The stretchy black top. The signature knit. Founded in the 1970s by Melma Hamersfeld in Melbourne, Metalicus started as a stretchy nylon accessories label. By the 90s it had exploded into apparel and was one of the biggest fashion brands in the country. PAS Group owned it. Sold it to General Pants Co in 2016. It went into administration in 2018, closing 12 stores and 15 Myer concessions. An iconic Australian brand that defined two decades of Australian women's wardrobes. #brandfounder #strategy #marketing #fashionbrand #brand

My parents are responsible for all the vibrant colours of Metalicus. They owned the dye house in Melbourne that dyed all the clothes. I knew Melma and loved the brand. I was sad when they finished up.

It was so good during pregnancy! The stretchy lurex items made me feel somewhat stylish with a huge belly.

I handwash my last Metallicus Dress and I'll cry when it's gone. It's the most Basic dress but it fits and sits the best.

It wasn’t for me at the time but I always thought I would age into Metalicus and now in my 40s I wish I could wear it
