Inside Parlour X: Eva Galambos on Retail Vision, Curation and Longevity

My guest in this episode is Eva Galambos, the Founder and Director of Parlour X, Australia’s leading luxury fashion boutique, renowned for its exclusive curation of the world's most sought-after designer collections. After building her career in London and Sydney as a commercial fashion agent, Eva launched Parlour X in 2001. She quickly became one of Australia’s most influential buyers and fashion ambassadors abroad, regularly travelling to Paris and Milan to bring the best of global style to the local market. A long-time champion of Australian fashion and independent business, Eva has mentored emerging designers and students, judged major industry awards, led philanthropic initiatives, and continues to shape the future of fashion in Australia. In our conversation, Eva and I explored: How she identified a clear gap in the Australian market and launched Parlour X with a bold, instinct-led vision What it takes to build a globally recognised boutique that blends commercial success with creative integrity Her approach to brand curation and why resisting sameness is essential for long-term relevance How to create an exceptional customer experience, and why emotional connection, service, and space matter more than ever The importance of trusting your gut in buying, visual merchandising, and retail strategy, even as trends and technologies evolve Lessons from over 20 years of navigating the highs, lows, and constant change in luxury fashion Eva’s advice on staying original, resilient, and deeply committed to your own path, no matter the noise around you This conversation offers valuable insights for anyone in fashion, retail, or creative leadership. I hope you enjoy it as much as I did.
