.ZIMMERMANN_ injected the feelings of optimism and escapism through a vibrant, botanical-inspired spring collection.
Much like her resort collection, Nicky Zimmermann’s spring array was designed to bring forth joy and a sense of escapism through her fabulously feminine attire. The designer’s collections often start with a focus on print; for spring, discovering the works of fellow Australian Ellis Rowan, a trailblazing artist and botanical illustrator of the last century, made for the perfect fit.
“I’ve always had an interest in botanical art,” Zimmermann expressed over the phone. A short film accompanying her spring runway look book, too, expressed the designer’s admiration for the artistry. “We came across Ellis Rowan and her beautiful colors and femininity; her way of showing light through her paintings. For me, it didn’t have that scientific feel that we normally see in botanic art.
Through a partnership with the National Library of Australia [among others], the designer was given the opportunity to bring 10 of Rowan’s works to life. Developed with Zimmermann’s signature flounce, the designer contrasted the artist’s feminine styles in papery, sheer organdy, specifically chosen to replicate the way light in Australia changes the vibrancy of colors. The result was divine.
To balance out the collection, Zimmermann peppered in her take on masculine tailoring. Milky, neutral linen suiting with Italian cotton shirting and lace camisole teddies topped with Zimmermann’s flirty touches: twisted scarves tied into handbags and playful, printed ties.
