Here’s an equation you don’t need calculus to figure out: Three days, five dollars, one roof and over 50 of the world’s top designer labels at up to 70% off. No matter how shabby your calculations, the outcome is gonna look good.

This Friday Designer Sales Australia presents the most tempting reason to fake a sickie and go “home” early with Sydney’s first luxe-for-less shopping event.

Actually we don’t condone dishonesty, but it’s at least worth skipping happy hour for. That’s because you’ll be rubbing finely clad shoulders with big-name brands such as Isabel Marant, Dries Van Noten, M Missoni and Haider Ackerman, supported by homegrown talents from the likes of Therese Rawsthorne and Rittenhouse. And with Paddington’s newly opened MiCK Gallery suppling sculptures by Al Phemister, even your home can get a hit of chic sophistication. 

Snap up a top by Dries from $327 (reduced from $1090), a Carven runched dress from $225 (reduced from $895) or a pair of LA made jeans for under $100. And the impending warm weather is no excuse not to rock a killer Sabatini leather jacket if you scored it for less than half the original price.

Go forth and acquire.
