History

Welsh merchant David Jones established the company in Sydney in 1838. It remains the oldest department store globally to operate under its founding name. The institution significantly influenced Australian fashion history by importing European designs. Notably, it hosted the first Christian Dior catwalk show outside of Paris in 1948, establishing a historical connection between the Australian market and international haute couture.
