One glance, and you know that dress or that bikini is Zimmermann. This dynamic Australian label stays true to its original vision: sophisticated femininity, strong silhouettes, clever colour combinations and delicate original prints. Sisters Nicky and Simone Zimmermann, founded their eponymous label back in 1991. They fast won a loyal following - smart, sartorially savvy women with an eye for quality fabrics and clever cutting.

Elevated yet casual, with a twist of fun. There's a quintessential energy and lightness to a Zimmermann piece that you won't find elsewhere. Zimmermann present their ready-to-wear collections each year at Mercedes Australian Fashion Week (April), and the Miami Swim Fair (July) in the US. They maintain showrooms in Sydney, Melbourne, London and New York.

Internationally, Zimmermann Swimwear is at the forefront of directional fashion swim ranges, and a major department store presence. As the Sydney Morning Herald so nicely put it: 'If Sydney was personified, she'd be bronzed, brazen and…wearing a Zimmermann bikini, so synonymous has the sunny label become with Australian style.” Zimmermann Swimwear's bold, original prints, beautifully made maillots and sculptural bikinis reflect such a high standard of technical precision that they have created a new point of reference in flattering, sexy and stylish swimwear.
