Zimmermann always speaks to the girly-girl going somewhere on an adventure, preferably to the seaside. Their Spring/Summer 2016 collection shown a few days ago at New York Fashion Week has to be one of their best collections yet. It was inspired by an 1894 novel called 'Seven Little Australians' which tells the coming-of-age story of seven mischievous children growing up out in Australia's bushland. Designer Nicky Zimmermann set out to draw "on the contrast between the conservatism of the time and the disobedience of the characters". The narrative was weaved throughout the collection in the form of bell sleeves, high-neck collars and floral frills but not past the point of being wearable and out of context. Ultra-feminine as this collection may be, subtly, the bohemian beach inspired vibes that made the Australian brand well known in the first place still remain.
