Leviathan is an Australian clothing brand established in 1909 in Melbourne, Victoria (Australia), by Leviathan Clothing Industry that started its activities as garments manufacturer for transoceanic crews. Its headquarter, the Leviathan Building, was designed and realized in 1918 by Harry Tompkins who created an elaborate mix of arts with art noveau, baroque and art deco motifs. Leviathan Building is considered a landmark of Australian architecture.
