What London's missing out on...

Zimmermann. 



"One glance and you know that dress or bikini is ZIMMERMANN. 
The label stays true to its original vision: sophisticated femininity, 
clever colour combinations and delicate original prints".


One label I was instantly drawn to when arriving at the shopping central of Sydney was the cute yet sophisticated, quirky high-end fashion label, Zimmermann. 
Founded in 1991 by Sydney Sisters Nicky and Simone Zimmermann, the award winning brand entails a signature balance of sophisticated feminine details and strong silhouettes with bold and interesting colour combinations. Along with interesting, delicate and unique prints, reflecting the modern look and feel of Sydney summers.

Launching the first Zimmermann designs at Paddington market, the sisters opened their first boutique in 1992. Beginning as a RTW line Zimmermann eventually evolved by fusing fashion with swimwear, and it wasn't long until it found itself with the fashion elite. Zimmerman’s courageous, original prints, beautifully made one-pieces and sculptural bikinis created a new point of reference in flattering, sexy and stylish swimwear, Zimmermann becoming an established quintessentially Australian design aesthetic.

“If Sydney was personified, she’d be bronzed, brazen and wearing a Zimmermann bikini, so synonymous has the sunny label become with Australian style.” 
- Sydney Morning Herald



  
Sold internationally Stockists include the iconic, Barney’s, Saks 5th Avenue, Bloomingdales, Harrods, Harvey Nichols, David Jones and independent boutiques around the world. Zimmermann is also featured on the world’s premier online stores such as Net-A-Porter and Shopbop.

Chanele Rose

Love Love Love the amazing Sydney based florist and event stylist that is Chanele Rose 




The Bride magazine

Yesterday was the wrap of an amazing two day editorial bridal shoot for The Bride Magazine. Set in  a rustic art/photography studio in Redfern, Sydney on day one, day two was one to go down in the history of little ol' me! Set on the stunning bachelor pad style luxury boat, MV Epicure (pictured), the sights of course as a tourist where some of the best highlights of my trip to Sydney so far let alone just today. But I have to say I am loving all that I'm learning about Australian style, having such a contrast to British style, mainly for the obvious fact that the climates are so different, I'm loving how relaxed Australians are about not giving a f*#k what others think. Coming from a place where tradition is followed regularly (GB of course) to a place where people don't give a Donald Duck about keeping things traditional but concentrate on the design and a style rather than what a bride is supposed to look like. With flowers from the extremely talented Chanele Rose Flowers, hair and make up the amazing Paul Bedggood and styling by the stylish Kathryn Bloom (assisted by your truly), I hope you enjoy the BTS pictures as much as I enjoyed blocking up my memory with them!
