Client Advisor, Chicago

About the brand

This iconic Australian brand has stayed true to its original vision: sophisticated femininity, a passion for detail, and a love of colour and print. Sisters Nicky and Simone Zimmermann founded their namesake brand in Sydney in 1991. Early in its evolution, Zimmermann took the bold step of fusing fashion with swimwear and presented it to the world, immediately finding its following with the fashion elite and creating a new point of reference in flattering, feminine, and stylish swimwear.

While the swimsuit thrust Zimmermann onto the international stage, it has been its optimistic, feminine, and consistently desirable collections across ready-to-wear and resort that have propelled it to greater global appeal. Based in Sydney, Zimmermann presents its ready-to-wear collections each season at Paris Fashion Week. Working with highly acclaimed designer and long-time collaborator Don McQualter, Zimmermann maintains stand-alone stores across Australia, the UK & Europe, China, the US, and the Middle East.
