Zimmermann S/S 2017 – Review
THE DOCKET: The brand delivered another trademark collection featuring bohemian trims, delicate accents and delicate feminine detailing, described by the designers’ as channeling the spirit of a derivative of sexy pirate, complete with silver orbs and mirrored discs and patchwork prints. Think Keira Knightley’s pretty getup at her rehearsal dinner the night before her wedding to Will Turner in Pirates of the Caribbean.
TOP INSTA LOOK: The feminine, day-at-the-races-ready collection was given a luxe update via bold and geometric accessories, including art deco-inspired brooches, oversized earrings and statement cuffs.
BEHIND THE SCENES: Australian makeup artist Jodie Boland, who played to the collection’s grungy, raw-edge vibe via chrome eyeliner, nude lips and soft pink blush.
OFF PROBATION: A white plunging lace asymmetrical gown with sheer sleeves and tiered ruffles and French-cuff sleeves, styled with a statement earring and knee-high lace-up taupe boots.
GOOD BEHAVIOUR BOND: A French-striped dress with a ruffled front and a low-slung hip scarf, while another key look featured a white lace and polka dot print tiered dress, worn under a dusty pink floral print silk trench coat.
INSPIRED BY: New York’s iconic gritty underground nightclub scene in the ‘80s, the designers cited a throwback to their former wild child party days as the influence behind their tribute to the New romantic modern urbanite, in addition to their teenage dreams of escaping suburbia and forging a career in the big smoke.
POP CULTURE-NOD: Australian model Gemma Ward posing at the Myer Marquee on Derby Day at Melbourne’s Flemington Racecourse in a floral number with a statement fascinator, posing for the paparazzi before heading over to the exclusive Emirates tent to join brand ambassador and spring racing fixture Rachael Finch for an afternoon of frivolity, bubbly and a dose of high fashion.
WEAR IT TO: The wedding of your closest frenemy on Sydney’s North Shore, followed by a day of spirited post-event gossip with your squad in the VIP section at Sydney’s Spring Carnival celebrating the best of Australia’s daytime glam.
OVERHEARD COURTSIDE: “This collection is so whimsical it could easily show again next month during New York Bridal Week.”
SPOTTED: Shania Shaik, Nicole Trunfio, Bridget Malcolm, Aimee Song, Gabby Westbrook-Patrick, Cara Santana, Shayla Mitchell.
COLOR WHEEL: Lilac, cream, steel blue, dusty peach, grey, white.
